FEATURING CASSIE OWENS - Journalism is meant to be a practice that informs and educates the public to make good decisions for a democratic society. But, journalism in a white supremacist setting has been, well, white supremacist, which in turn, has deeply harmed communities of color.

Now, a new project in Philadelphia aims to fix that. The Philadelphia Safer Journalism Project brings together community members, journalists, therapists, researchers, lawyers and artists to change harmful crime coverage.
