Headlines and front lines: How US news coverage of wars in Yemen and Ukraine reveals a bias in recording civilian harm

Retrieved on:

Thursday, August 3, 2023

How and how often that suffering is reported on in the U.S., however, is not evenhanded.

Key Points:

How and how often that suffering is reported on in the U.S., however, is not evenhanded.
Take, for example, the Saudi-led intervention in Yemen in March 2015 and the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
In Yemen, the U.S. is arming and supporting the Saudi-led coalition, whose airstrikes and blockades have caused immense human suffering.
These biases lead to reporting that highlights or downplays human suffering in the two conflicts in a way that seemingly coincides with U.S. foreign policy objectives.

Ukraine in spotlight

War in Ukraine is clearly seen as more newsworthy to U.S. readers.
Headlines on Ukraine passed that mark in under three months and then doubled it within nine months.
Front-page stories on Ukraine have been commonplace ever since the Russian invasion began in February 2022.

More context on Ukraine

When we analyzed headlines on Yemen and Ukraine, we classified them as either “episodic,” meaning focused on specific events, or “thematic,” meaning more contextual.
In contrast, headlines on Ukraine involved a greater emphasis on context, accounting for 73% of total articles.
Meanwhile, contextual articles on Ukraine trace the broader implications of the conflict and reflect stories of continual Russian responsibility and accountability.

Differences in assigning blame

We found 50 headlines on Yemen that reported on specific attacks carried out by the Saudi-led coalition.
Of them, 18 – just 36% – attributed responsibility to Saudi Arabia or the coalition.
Here, of the 50 headlines about Russian attacks, 44 of them – or 88% – explicitly attributed responsibility to Russia.

A tale of two humanitarian crises

Both invasions have led to situations of food insecurity – in Yemen creating a national risk of famine, and in Ukraine compromising global grain supply.
However, the way the news stories speak about hunger in both countries has little in common.

Moral outrage vs. neutrality

Headlines on Ukraine tend to invoke moral judgments, we found, compared with a more neutral tone on Yemen.
This Is Their Story.” This moral positioning on the conflict in Ukraine is not necessarily a problem.
However, it is noteworthy that New York Times headlines on Yemen fail to employ similarly condemnatory narratives toward the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen.

Journalism of deference

What’s different is that the U.S. is essentially on opposite sides in these conflicts when it comes to its relationship to those inflicting the most civilian casualties.
Washington officials have made open and direct declarations about the inhumanity of atrocities in Ukraine while avoiding inquiry and condemnation of those in Yemen.
Our research suggests that such messaging may be supported by the news media.

International African American Museum in Charleston, S.C., pays new respect to the enslaved Africans who landed on its docks

Retrieved on:

Monday, July 17, 2023

Key Points:

T
Before Congress ended the transatlantic slave trade in 1808, the Port of Charleston was the nation’s epicenter of human trafficking.
That location of once utter degradation is now the hallowed site of the International African American Museum.
The museum’s mission is to honor the untold stories of the African American journey and, by virtue of its location and landscape design, pay reverence to the ground on which it sits.

America’s widespread historical illiteracy

In the 2022 “Nation’s Report Card,” the National Assessment of Educational Progress revealed ongoing deficiencies in eighth
grade students’ knowledge of U.S. history and civics.
Only 20% of test-takers scored proficient or above in civics, and, for American history, only 13% achieved proficiency.
In this highly politicized environment, efforts to restrict how race can be discussed in public schools have led to widespread calls from parents and politicians for the censorship of certain books on race.
These new restrictions have had an impact on public education, according to the National Council for History Education.

South Carolinians’ overlooked national impact

Exhibits show how the lives of Black people and their resistance to enslavement helped shape state, national and international affairs.
For example, South Carolina’s 1739 Stono Rebellion, in which fugitive slaves attempted to escape to Spanish Florida, precipitated conflict between Spain and Great Britain.
But few know that Shields Green, a South Carolina fugitive slave, assisted in the planning and execution of the fateful attack.

A monument to freedom

In my view, that collaboration will likely be challenging, given the efforts to sanitize the nation’s racial history and teachers’ apprehensions about teaching supposedly controversial subjects.
“This is a site of trauma,” Tonya Matthews, CEO and president of the museum, told CBS News.
That’s what makes it a site of joy, and triumph.” Indeed, the International African American museum is, by design, a monument to freedom – and an honest engagement with America’s troubled racial past.
