About Our Guest:
Robinson's 2018 book, Networked News, Racial Divides: How Power & Privilege Shape Progressive Communities, explores how digital platforms enable and constrain citizens – especially those in marginalized communities – who produce and share information in the public sphere about racial achievement disparities in the K-12 education system. The book is meant to be a guide for journalists, politicians, activists and others on how to navigate information networks to improve public deliberation. This lecture summarizes many of the key lessons from her book.
Sue is currently at work on two additional book projects — one on Trump and the media with Matt Carlson and Seth Lewis, and one on media trust projects.
