Editor’s Note: With school online due to COVID-19 and social distancing measures being implemented across the country, things will sound a bit different here at the Emerald Podcast Network as we navigate recording from separate physical spaces. We’ve got limited recording technology, so join us as we figure this out.
As BLM protests continue to occur daily, the Emerald reporters are learning firsthand how to cover these stories in an ethical way. Multimedia co-editor Meaghan FitzPatrick talks to reporter James Croxton who reported on the first 31 days of protests.
James Croxton‘s Protest Stories:
BIPOC Collective Protests and Mayor Lucy Vinis’ House
Juneteenth Celebrations in Eugene, Oregon
The Story So Far: Anti-Racist Protests in Eugene
