Earlier this month a Yale graduate student was murdered in New Haven’s East Rock neighborhood, leading to widespread media coverage.

This hour, we ask: why do some shootings get media attention while others do not? We take a look at the way race and privilege shape gun violence coverage.

And we talk with journalists and community members. What trends have you noticed in news coverage of violent crime?

GUESTS:
Kelly McBride - NPR’s Public Editor and Senior Vice President and Chair of Craig Newmark Center for Ethics and Leadership at the Poynter Institute
Paul Bass - Editor of the New Haven Independent
Reverend Steven Cousin - Pastor at Bethel A.M.E. Church in New Haven
Harriet Jones - Managing Editor for Connecticut Public Radio
