Antiracist Journalism offers a pathway towards disrupting mainstream journalism in the hopes of a better informed democracy. Read this book if you care about how journalism can be problematic – and more importantly – how we can fix it to be more inclusive and relevant. Andrea Wenzel’s commitment to conducting rigorous community-based research in concert with practitioners shines forth in her analyses. Both reflexive and brilliant, Andrea Wenzel has written an important book. -- Sue Robinson, author of <i>How Journalists Engage: A Theory of Trust Building, Identities and Care</i> Antiracist Journalism is a reflection of the ethic of care Andrea Wenzel lives out every day as a journalist, researcher, teacher, and community member. The insights shared from Philadelphia's built media environment are a powerful guide for journalism stakeholders—from community members to corporate leaders to philanthropic organizations—who are committed to addressing the harms of erasure and mischaracterization wrought through decades of unexamined professional practice. -- Meredith D. Clark, Northeastern University
