Join us as we explore the implications and practices of mass media’s reporting on growing White Supremacy spheres. With the rising influence of the internet, and the rising influence of the political far right, more caution is needed when approaching this subject. How has the myth of white supremacy changed over the years? How is the news media doing in depicting the subject? Is the internet exacerbating problems by providing a hub for alt-right beliefs? We break down and analyze these trends to see what can be done to slow them down on an individual level.
