The local chapter of the National Association of Black Journalists convened a discussion focused on the police shooting in north Minneapolis. They explore the community response to it, the media coverage of these events, and coverage of the black community in general. Many of them said news and information is controlled by the white power structure, and they want it dismantled.

Moderated by MPR News reporter Brandt Williams. Panelists: Al McFarlane of Insight News and KFAI, Maria Reeve of the Star Tribune and president of TCBJ, Charles Hallman of the Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder, Adja Gildersleve of Black Lives Matter Minneapolis, Nekima Levy-Pounds of the Minneapolis NAACP, Bishop Richard Howell of Shiloh Temple International Ministries. Introduction by Jonathan Blakley, MPR News program director.
