Baltimore News and Your Newsfeed


Trillia Newbell asks some penetrating, helpful questions in the wake of the chaos in Baltimore: 

"If your newsfeed is anything like mine, it’s full of pictures of Baltimore going up in flames as raging rioters become the narrative of the day. We see lives destroyed and like a swarm of bees we find our source and begin to sting.  It’s one thing to bring awareness to an issue, but are we sharing fairly? Have we succumbed to fearmongering and sensationalism, or are there ways to tell more than one story?"
