In the history of US news media, partisanship, class, race, and gender biases have always infused the press and that coverage has often been shaped behind closed doors by those with the greatest power. People of color have been systematically excluded from the press, both in general society and on college campuses. However over the past several decades, colleges have become more diverse in their ethnic, racial, and class composition. Campus diversity has led to more frequent and intense clashes over political narratives. At the same time, the increasing polarization of society and, in recent years, the clear increase in repressive government actions (whether by police, federal agencies such as US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), or authoritarian governments abroad) have produced greater fear and insecurity among students of color. Juan González describes how being a truly responsible journalist in a world where even advanced democracies have become more authoritarian and xenophobic is learning to report the facts while also protecting the most vulnerable and marginalized from the forces of reaction.
