Jonquilyn Hill | Through the Cracks Podast

DIE-ALOGUE

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.
This episode is part 4 of the series, MISSING, MURDERED + THE MEDIA. Jonquilyn Hill is also the creator and host of "Through the Cracks," investigates gaps in our society and the people who fall through them. Season 1 centers around the story of Relisha Rudd, an eight year old girl who went missing from a homeless shelter in Washington DC in 2014.
In addition to exploring the complex factors at play in Relisha's story, Jonquilyn and Rebekah examine the racialized aspects of the true crime genre and just who the media finds "relatable?"

The podcast promo you heard today is for the show, SAY THEIR NAME, by DCP Entertainment:
"Say Their Name" focuses on the assault and killing of unarmed Black people by police and in ‘Stand Your Ground’ states, highlighting incidents throughout the United States.
Serving as a memorialization for these individuals, we learn about who these people were through the words of the people that knew them best, while also helping us understand what these situations do to their families and communities not only in the immediate aftermath, but also what happens when the news-cycle moves on and the social media attention shifts focus.
Season 2 also highlights more stories from Women who have lost their lives due to negative police encounters. Listen wherever you get your podcasts:
