More news outlets stop publishing mugshots in wake of George Floyd protests, national reckoning over race

March 2, 2021 by Brianna Connock

A growing number of media outlets are banning the publication of police mugshots--and in some cases, removing them from digital archives, in the wake of a national reckoning on racial justice that followed the murder of George Floyd last summer in Minnesota.

Filmmakers depend on images and there were only a handful of … [Read more...] about Pulitzer filmmakers offer behind-the-scenes look at how they brought publisher to life as a ‘wake up call’ for today’s democracy

Weiss introduced a new documentary on Joseph Pulitzer on June 6 at the St. Louis Jewish Film Festival.
