Ep. 43: “Atlanta is losing the narrative”

In lieu of our regular weekly politics briefing, Aja invites King to discuss his latest feature entitled “Atlanta is losing the narrative,” an in-depth look into the local media ecosystem in Atlanta. In his piece, available on The Mainline and King’s official newsletter, King specifically examines the role of social media malinformation/anti-BLM accounts like ATLScoop. Aja brings her analysis based on special research and critique of more traditional news sources like the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

We’ll be back with our weekly podcast briefing next week, plus a special feature episode about the connection between gentrification and policing soon.
