After Elon Musk bought Twitter and fired most of its staff, the platform seems to be floundering, if not imploding. Traffic is flagging, major news outlets have abandoned their handles, hate speech is on the rise. And yet, Twitter remains one of the easiest ways to speak out in public. Media scholar Meredith Clark doesn't know if Twitter will survive, but she does know it's a repository for a remarkable history of antiracist activism. Hear how she is working to preserve that archive, and why.Additional InformationThe Democracy Group listener surveyDemocracy in Danger PodcastMore shows from The Democracy Group

Media reports suggest that large swathes of employees at Twitter have resigned after the platform's new owner, Elon Musk, issued a kind of ultimatum asking them to commit to "long hours at high intensity" to build “Twitter 2.0.” Last night, according to an internal Twitter email shared with CNN, employees who decided to stay at the company received an email that said the company's offices will be temporarily closed and badge access will be restricted through Monday. Whether the platform will remain functional with so many core engineering and other crucial teams decimated is an open question. To talk more about Twitter, Musk, and what is potentially lost, Justin Hendrix spoke to Dr. Meredith Clark, whose research focuses on the intersections of race, media, and power. She's leading a project to archive Black Twitter, as part of a larger project to archive the Black web. And, she's the author of a forthcoming book on Black Twitter.

A surge in anti-Semitic and racist tweets, an incoherent rollout of a paid verification service, and thousands of layoffs. Then a scramble to rehire some employees. This is only a couple of weeks into Elon Musk's ownership of Twitter. It's impossible to deny that Musk is a highly successful businessman who made some high-visibility missteps on the way to Tesla and SpaceX. But unlike those two companies, Twitter is not about goods and services. For millions of users, it's about community. And many feel that Musk will end up destroying these virtual communities. Disgruntled Twitter users have sparked a mini-movement with the hashtag #TwitterMigration, leaving the platform for the social network Mastodon over concerns about increasing hate speech and misinformation. But others are defiantly staying put - ready to fight back to sustain the influential communities that have made the platform their home. Host Michel Martin speaks with Meredith Clark, Associate Professor in Journalism and Communication studies at Northeastern University, and the author of a forthcoming book on Black Twitter.

Dan and Ellen talk with their colleague at Northeastern University, Dr. Meredith Clark. Dr. Clark is an associate professor in the School of Journalism & the Department of Communication Studies at Northeastern. Before arriving at Northeastern, she was a faculty fellow at Data & Society, an independent nonprofit research organization based in New York that examines some of the questions being raised by the massive increase in the use of data in all aspects of society. Dr. Clark's research is on the intersections of race, media, and power, and she's studied everything from newsroom hiring and reporting practices to social media communities. Her media diet is wide-ranging and eclectic. Our interview touches on many cultural icons, including poet Audre Lorde and Captain Olivia Benson, the fictional "Law & Order SVU" crime solver. In Quick Takes, Dan discusses Gannett's recent move to dismantle some of the chain's regional editorial pages and Ellen tips the hat to two of the 2022 recipients of the prestigious Freedom of the Press Award, Wendi C. Thomas, founding editor and publisher of MLK50: Justice Through Journalism, and Mukhtar Ibrahim, founding publisher and CEO of Sahan Journal.

Save Meduza!https://support.meduza.io/enOn today's episode, we'll hear from five guests about race and injustice in Russia and the Soviet Union, including from the activist behind a new initiative against police brutality in Russia built around the slogan “Russian Lives Matter.” As you may have guessed, this adapts the better known phrase “Black Lives Matter,” which is the rallying cry for an enormous social movement that is sweeping the United States. Both of these slogans are ostensibly about opposition to police brutality, but they embody very different perspectives on injustice. Black Lives Matter, or BLM, has dominated the news cycle in the U.S., largely supplanting coronavirus as the nation's leading story. The movement has attracted attention in Russia, as well, where the state media has geopolitical reasons to highlight how the United States is a racist and failed democracy, and where many anti-Kremlin, typically Western-leaning oppositionists look to places like the United States as an example for better governance and civil society. In other words, they're watching the U.S. from Russia, and Black Lives Matter is now front and center. In this episode: (5:56) Libertarian Party member and “Civil Society” movement head Mikhail Svetov explains the “Russian Lives Matter” initiative. (17:24) Meduza features editor Hilah Kohen argues that BLM is wrongly portrayed as riots and divisiveness. (22:59) Rogers Sure, a Kenyan man who studies engineering in Yekaterinburg, describes what it's like to be African in Russia. (30:54) Kimberly St. Julian-Varnon, a history instructor at San Jacinto College, summarizes her fieldwork and research into African Americans living in the USSR and minority scholars in Slavic studies. (44:53) Meredith Clark, an associate professor in the Department of Media Studies at the University of Virginia, breaks down the fundamentals of Black Lives Matter, about which you can learn more here. “The Naked Pravda” comes out on Fridays (or sometimes Saturdays).

All this and two special treats this week, first in a very special guest, Britney Brightside, in an exclusive interview with Katie, and also a musical number by Katie and Phil at the end of the show, so stick around for that!

And welcome to today's episode of the #CauseAScene podcast. My guest today is Charlton McIlwain. I knew it. See? It happens, it happens people—you know, I screw this up all the time. And pronouns are he/him. So this gentleman I have been wanting on the show since one of the fabulous Black researchers—I can't even remember which one because I've had so many on—females—when I asked him, I'm like, "who—what men are doing this?" and your name popped up. It probably was Ruha Benjamin. I believe it may have been her because she gave me a list of people. So, you and I have been trying to get this schedule for a while. You have been absolutely busy because of your new book, so I'll stop talking and I'll let you introduce yourself. 01:29 Charlton D. McIlwain: Alright, my name is Charlton McIlwain. I'm a professor of media culture communication here at New York University—NYU where I'm also vice provost for faculty engagement and development. 01:43 Kim: OK, so we're gonna start with two questions, as always. Why is it important to cause a scene? And how are you causing a scene? 01:50 Charlton: Well, I think it's important to cause a scene—number one because that's the only way that things change, so to disrupt the status quo… to make sure that what we're doing is what we're supposed to be doing. If not, to raise people's attention to the fact that we need to be doing something differently and we cause a scene to make ourselves visible and make sure that people have not forgotten that we are here, that we have wants, that we have requests, that we have demands. 02:23 Kim: And how are you causing a scene? 02:25 Charlton: Well, I won't get into all of the, of the ways I am, some of them probably not fit from the show. But I will say... 02:31 Kim: OK, let me stop you right there. And this is an adult show so say whatever the hell you want to. These are grown people. They need to hear the truth, so I just want to stop and let you know that. So go ahead. 02:42 Charlton: Alright. Alright. Well, I cause a scene in two ways. I'm an academic. I'm a researcher. I am a higher education leader. And so that's where I try to cause a scene most recently through my new book, Black Software: The Internet & Racial Justice From the AfroNet to Black Lives Matter, and I also try to cause a scene at my institution and in higher education, where I try to call attention to the ways that we need to do better in terms of who we offer educational opportunity to, who is prepared to be successful within the academy and beyond. 03:30

Civil Rights Filmmaker Takes on Voter Suppression in “After Selma” (0:29)Guest: Loki Mulholland, Emmy-winning Documentary Filmmaker of “After Selma,” Executive Director of The Joan Trumpauer Mulholland FoundationVoting is a right of citizenship in the United States – one it's easy for many of us to take for granted. But it took a series of constitutional amendments to extend voting rights to all Americans. First was the 15th Amendment passed after the Civil War, giving black men the vote. It wasn't until 1920 that women got the vote – we're coming up on the 100th anniversary of that. But racial discrimination in the South kept many black men and women from voting until the Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965. And so today, it looks like it's working. But a new documentary about voter suppression in America today called “After Selma” shows that it's not. Scientists Lured Fish Back to Dying Coral Reefs with Loudspeakers (21:58)Guest: Tim Gordon, Marine Biologist, PhD Student, University of ExeterThe world's coral reefs are in dire straits. Extreme heat killed off half the Great Barrier Reef in 2016 and 2017. Those damaged areas of coral became like a ghost town. But if fish could be drawn back to the reef, their very presence could trigger other parts of the coral ecosystem to come back, too. Marine biologist Tim Gordon has struck on an ingenious strategy to lure fish to patches of dead coral – sound.  The Power of Black Twitter (33:29)Guest: Meredith Clark, Assistant Professor of Media Studies, University of VirginiaThere's a subset of Twitter that's come to be known in recent years as “Black Twitter.” University of Virginia media studies professor Meredith Clark is writing a book about what it is and why it matters. A White Supremacist's Journey Out of Hate (50:36)Guest: Tony McAleer, Author, “The Cure for Hate: A Former White Supremacist's Journey from Violent Extremism to Radical Compassion”Major cities in the US have seen a surge in hate crimes targeting Jews in recent months, including a stabbing in the home of a rabbi in New York during Hanukkah, in which five people were killed. The FBI says violence by white-supremacist extremists is the primary domestic terror threat in the US.And so Tony McAleer's story is worth considering. As a young man, he joined a gang of white supremacists, shaved his head, spewed anti-immigrant rhetoric and attacked minorities, publicly denied the Holocaust, and created an automated phone messaging system to spread his hate more widely - before the internet made it even easier. Today Tony McAleer has left that hate behind and is co-founder of a nonprofit called “Life After Hate” which helps people leave extremist groups. His new memoir is called, “The Cure for Hate.” Rural Communities Face Growing Health Care Disparities as Hospitals Continue to Close (1:28:07)Guest: Simon F. Haeder, Assistant Professor of Public Policy, Pennsylvania State UniversityRural America is facing a healthcare crisis. Since 2010, more than 100 rural hospitals have closed, which means long drives or expensive ambulance rides in an emergency for people living in those areas. But hospital closures are only the start of the problem for rural communities. Cost-cutting measures by insurance companies are also making it harder for people to see a doctor.

Black Software: The Internet & Racial Justice, from the AFRONET to Black Lives Matter (Oxford University Press, 2019) News Roundup EFF uncovers secret F.B.I. subpoenas for personal info from multiple companies The New York Times reports that the Electronic Frontier Foundation shared with it scores of documents uncovered in a Freedom of Information Act request that reveal the extent to which federal law enforcement officials issue subpoenas to companies in an effort to uncover personal data about individuals the Justice Department suspects of being a threat to National Security. The Justice Department has issued the so-called National Security Letters (NSLs) to companies as diverse as Equifax, Verizon, Google, and Microsoft seeking things like user names, IP addresses, locations, and records of purchases made by their customers. Elizabeth Warren proposes more tech expertise on the Hill Senator Elizabeth Warren is pushing for more tech expertise on the Hill, saying that it would help resist tech companies’ growing lobbying influence in Washington. Warren says tech companies’ strategy has been to purport that they understand tech issues better than congressional staffers. So she’s advocating for the reestablishment of the Office of Technology Assessment (OTA), which Newt Gingrich dismantled in 1995. For about two decades, the OTA was tasked with helping to keep Congressional staffers abreast of tech issues. NAACP slams Comcast over Byron Allen lawsuit The NAACP slammed Comcast for asking the Supreme Court to curtail section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act of 1866, which outlaws discrimination in contracting. Comcast and Trump’s Department of Justice are asking the Supreme Court to water down the statute by requiring plaintiffs to prove that race was the only motivating factor for why a defendant didn’t award a contract, as opposed being one of several factors. Comcast is requesting the more conservative reading of the statute in the context of a $20 billion lawsuit Byron Allen brought against it and Charter for opting out of carrying Allen’s cable channels. The Department of Justice filed an amicus brief on Comcast’s behalf. Allen is arguing that race does not need to be the only motivating factor in a contract discrimination lawsuit and that Comcast and the Trump administration are conspiring to eviscerate this landmark civil rights law, which was passed in the wake of the Civil War—the first one. EEOC says companies’ Facebook ads discriminated against women and older workers The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission found that seven (7) companies including Capital One, Edward Jones, Nebraska Furniture Mart, Enterprise Holdings, Renewal by Andersen, Drive Time Auto, and Sandhills Publishing discriminated against women and older workers by targeting ads based on age and gender. The Commission found that while targeting based on ages an gender may be appropriate in some cases, it’s not appropriate for housing, real estate, financial services, and job opportunities. FTC sues Match The Federal Trade Commission is suing dating platform Match Group, owner of Match, Tinder, OKCupid, Hinge, PlentyofFish and other dating apps, for fraud, TechCrunch reports.  The lawsuit targets Match.com specifically saying the platform is overrun by bots and spammers that Match encourages and profits from.

GAO urges FCC to take measures to help Tribal areas access spectrum Finally, the Government Accountability Office wants the FCC to take more active measures to address a shortage of spectrum on Tribal lands. The report indicates that Tribal lands, especially those in rural areas, lag behind the rest of the country when it comes to broadband access. It says that wireless can help close the divide. GAO says the FCC needs to do more to assess the extent to which Tribal organizations participate in spectrum auctions and to which unused spectrum across tribal lands could be used to deliver broadband access.

One of the major criticisms of social media is that it's disconnecting us, as individuals, from society and from real physical interactions. But if a key element of 'tribe' is communication and connectivity then the digital world arguably holds unlimited bounds for tribes. Mumsnet for instance has changed how we view mums as a social group. While marketers and advertisers may have seen them as a target market, they probably never thought they would be an ever-connected all-powerful tribe who could even make politicians quiver in their boots. In this weeks' episode of The Digital Human, Aleks Krotoski asks if rather than separating us, the digital world is helping us revive old tribal connections. If the internet has heralded the death of distance, what do these new kind of tribes look like? And do we relate to each other in different ways now that so much of our lives are lived online? Contributors: zoologist Desmond Morris; author of The Patter Michael Munro; academic and journalist Meredith Clark; internet activist Ethan Zuckerman and digital anthropologists Daniel Miller and Elisabetta Costa. Producer: Caitlin Smith.

Charlton McIlwain (@cmcilwain) - As a researcher, writer and teacher, Dr. McIlwain's primary interests focus broadly on issues of race and media, particularly within the social and political arena. His previous work centered on how political candidates construct, mobilize, benefit or suffer damage from race-based appeals. In 2011 Dr. McIlwain co-authored the book Race Appeal: How Candidates Invoke Race in U.S. Political Campaigns (Temple University Press). In 2012, the book won the prestigious Ralph Bunche Award, given by the American Political Science Association for the best book addressing ethnic pluralism. The same year, the American Library Association recognized the book as one of the Best of the Best books among academic publishers. In addition to authoring/coauthoring four additional books and close to thirty scholarly journal articles and chapter in edited volumes, and regularly providing expert commentary for local, state, national and international media, Dr. McIlwain continues to pursue research about racial appeals through collaborative work focused on analyses of individuals' real-time perceptions of race-based appeals in political advertising, as well as a variety of cognitive/physiological responses to racialized communication. You can stay informed about his ongoing work in that area at the RaceProject. Dr. McIlwain's recent interests, however, have turned to the intersections of race and digital media, principally as they relate to three primary questions: to what degree can/has the internet and other forms of digital media use lead to increased political participation, voice and influence for people of color?; in what ways might internet use provide greater access to social, professional and economic mobility for people of color?; and in what tangible ways do forms of racial discrimination, disparate treatment and denial of opportunity take place in online environments? He is currently working on a number of projects in this area, including: An article titled, Racial Formation Online: Representation, Inequality & the Political Economy of the Web. A book project titled Digital Movement: Black Politics, Organizing & Activism on the Web, which traces the roots and charts the development of racial justice networks online since the 1990s. A related project analyzing the Black Lives Matter movement on Twitter. The project is in collaboration with lead investigator Deen Freelon, and Meredith Clark, and is funded by the Spencer Foundation. Dr. McIlwain is also working on the following with other collaborators: A book project titled, Good Feelings: The Story of Race & Barbecue in America with Kathleen McElroy. A final book project with Stephen Maynard Caliendo titled Nigger 2.0: The Turbulent Transformation of a Still Troublesome Word. In addition to these projects, Robin R. Means Coleman and I edit the Routledge Transformations in Race & Media book series for Routledge. In this Episode we Discussed The history of race and racism on the Internet in the context of the civil rights and the post-civil rights eras How algorithms can both intentionally and unintentionally create real-world discriminatory harm Why scholars should continue to study race and racism at the intersection of technology and the Internet.
