CRIMINAL JUSTICE EXPERTS: MISLEADING “WILLIE HORTON LIKE” PRESS COVERAGE ON NEW YORK’S NEW BAIL REFORM LAW IRRESPONSIBLE

[Criminal Justice]
“New Yorkers depend on local journalism to provide honest coverage of the issues impacting their communities. Local reporting, especially reporting on crime, shapes the public perception and discourse about the safety of the community and the fairness of the criminal legal system. When reporters publish stories that are misleading, or reinforce false narratives based on fear and prejudice, they all but ensure that our justice system will continue to criminalize and incarcerate poor people and people of color.”
