Media history prof at University of Virginia. Latest book is Making #Charlottesville: Media from Civil Rights to Unite the Right. Now writing a book on TV news coverage of the JFK assassination. I spend lots of research time in the 1960s.

Very proud of this article I've just published in The Conversation: theconversation.com/when-civil-r...

When civil rights protesters are killed, some deaths – generally those of white people – resonate more
From the civil rights era of the 1960s until today, white victims of government violence have received disproportionate attention.

 "There is no escaping our obligations: our moral obligations as a wise leader and good neighbor in the interdependent community of free nations – our economic obligations as the wealthiest people in a world of largely poor people, as a nation no longer dependent upon the loans from abroad that once helped us develop our own economy – and our political obligations as the single largest counter to the adversaries of freedom." – John F. Kennedy

January 20, 1961, major snow storm the day before and temperatures in the low 20s.

One of the big names from the 2017 Unite the Right rally, Augustus Invictus, is (finally!) going to prison for his role in the tiki torch parade. He was convicted of using fire for racial intimidation.

When you are writing a book about the Kennedy assassination (no, I don’t deal with conspiracy theories), I guess any new attention to the topic is advantageous? And, no, I don’t believe the CIA killed JFK or RFK, as RFK’s problematic son seems to.

"RFK believes that and wants to get to the bottom of it," a source told Axios.

So: FIRST POST! I'm here in DC doing research at my happy place, the Library of Congress, for my long delayed, forever-in-progress book on TV news coverage of JFK's assassination. The project feels newly relevant to our moment.
