The media has a long history of racism. Where do we go wrong, and are we doing any better?

Objectivity is a word that we hear a lot when it comes to journalism and reporters. But when 76% of newsrooms are white and predominantly male, is objectivity really just the white male gaze? When it comes to narratives around police shootings, the news has often shown a bias towards the police narrative. But in the aftermath of George Floyd's killing, are they doing better?
