Media Choices Shape National Coverage of Police Shootings
Steve Hansen argues that national headlines focus on white officer minority suspect cases, noting Albuquerque’s 42 officer involved shootings since 2010 have produced little national attention while incidents in Baltimore, Baton Rouge, St Paul, and Dallas drew outsized coverage. He reflects on media bias and geographic factors shaping public perception.
