In 2016, major environmental crises that disproportionately affect people of color — such as the Flint water crisis and the fight over the location of the Dakota Access Pipeline — were undercovered by the national media for long periods, despite being reported by local and state media early on.

Birds of a feather

Anyone who has seen those election maps broken down by counties can see how geographically concentrated Democratic voters are, much to their party’s electoral disadvantage–once you move past narrow bands on the east and west coasts, there is a vast sea of red in between. Except for two kinds of blue pinpricks–the densely populated inner cities of Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, etc ., and the counties in which large universities are located.
