How the New York Times uses "experts"

Karakatsanis, A. (2022, July 13). How the New York Times Uses "Experts". Alec's Copaganda Newsletter.
This post highlights the ways in which the New York Times and other media outlets selectively choose experts, often with biases towards pro-incarceration ideologies, and present their opinions without providing meaningful context or evidence. The author argues that this practice perpetuates pro-police narratives, narrows the understanding of safety, and fails to consider alternative perspectives from experts in public health, education, and social sciences.
