Do we consider the media an institution that can have an impact on justice? If you are today's guest, the answer is yes, and she would know as a journalist and reporter at WAMU, a DC outlet of NPR. Welcome, Jonquilyn Hill.

What if “the media” isn’t the problem? What if it’s us? Today’s guest believes the imbalance of media coverage for black women begins with our own broken values.

This episode is part 3 of the series, MISSING, MURDERED + THE MEDIA. I couldn’t cover this subject without a journalist's perspective. Today, I'm speaking with Tamar Sarai Davis, features reporter at PRISM, a non-profit media company. Tamar wrote about Lauren Smith Fields’ case and focused specifically on the ways Black TikTok and Twitter elevated Lauren’s story to the public’s consciousness.

Let's go back to 1970's Chicago when the mob ruled the courts. What could go wrong? I had an incredible conversation with the Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Jake Halpern.

Jake is the host of the new investigative podcast, Mob Land, which just dropped this week! The story centers around Bob Cooley - a mafia "fixer" turned FBI cooperator. Jake and I get into whether or not Bob can be trusted, what justice is or isn't — especially when corruption exists — and I think I stun Jake into silence with a Real Housewives analogy.
