When protests are in the headlines, media outlets often fall into familiar traps:
fixating on isolated incidents of violence, debating crowd size, covering the day's

of sociology at the University of California Irvine, about what to keep in mind to
be a savvy consumer of protest news. This segment was first broadcast in February
2017.
