Of one nation uniting in gratitude thank you for showing us that we never stopped being. The home of the brave. We are living in an age where videos of people behaving poorly travel at the speed of light on social media and then become news. But should it be . What is the role of journalists in this caughtoncamera craze. I bring you this reading of my oped which appears in the San Francisco chronicle. My world has become consumed with karens and their male equivalents, people caught on camera or in photos and emails displaying various degrees of poor, often racistfueled behavior. The Laney College professor who asked a vietnameseamerican student to anglicize her name, claiming it sounded like an expletive. And the male offender later seen assaulting a bystander who tried vel mre companies asiaanil k t them on a hike. The news landscape has clearly entered into brand new territory. There was a period of two weeks when five out of six of my stories involved people behaving badly on camera. The audiences voracious conten i for kin outrage. Want to say that again . No one wants black lives matter. Thats what i said. The more emotions are stoked, the more the story is shared. Now admittedly part of me enjoyed the dopamine hit of me breaking a story knowing it would go viral and the satisfaction of on theion website. This never happened when i was reporting on a city council meeting. But during the fast and furious pace at whichy inundated with new karen leads, i questioned my role in this new candid camera 2. 0. Was i just repurposing this boorish behavior into a twominute piece of entertainment disguised as news . Then i received a message that helped answer the question. It was from another educator at school took new measures to help teachers pronounce student names. I felt a surge of pride knowing the content i was presenting to the bay area was more than just a novelty but held the power to enact a change that would hopefully prevent others fromti na, andonthlty parties quickly lost their jobs and the consequences of being publicly lambasted seemed to from repeating their actions, or, so we hope. But in order for us as journalists to avoid the dangerous slide of becoming tabloid tv, we must assess each case with an enhanced level ofd amplifies boorish behavior without adding context, we must go beyond the superficial shock and awe. Brazen video captured the moment a man this is all to hit the hasty digital gold mine and we need to dig a bit deeper into our reporting. What did the interaction entail before the camera started rolling . And you dont know if i live here or if this is my property. We actually do know. And a racist rant toward a filipinoamerican family. Did a man slash a womans car tires in martinez because ofpos the black lives Matter Movement or for another reason . These are not questions that could be answered with a click of a like or share button. If we as journalists fail to answer these questions or ask and cant find the answers ourselves, the story should not be considered news. If we make this ethical promise to exercise heightened responsibility for this new breed of storytelling, i hope consumers of this content can understand the importance of context during consumption. The mso inform and empower. If we take the time to add original reporting and context to caughtoncamera karen moments, we can use this new breed of storytelling to enhance the publics understanding of a critical time in our culture.
