Media Making a Change

TIME Magazine has just published a really powerful front cover . Sometimes media sources present more in depth coverage and provoke their audience to delve deeper into history and current events. Many times the media focuses on guiding the audience to focus on a certain emotion or thought, distracting them from more un-biased fact. At the end of March TIME Magazine published a startling cover asking their audience to consider the series of events that led up to the 2015 Baltimore Riots. While TIME Magazine does convey the news, it also acts an editorial that questions the commonly accepted norm. The article gives information about what happened in 1968, and ask how things have and haven't changed in 2015. We challenge you to read this article and dig deeper into the underlying issues about these events.
