We also show persistence of protest & mainstream under-coverage of places outside major media centers. Large sample of articles. We show both predictors of event coverage and differences in prevalence of keywords. We think it offers methodological & substantive advances. Comments appreciated. 2/2

#contentioussky #sociology Updated working paper on mainstream & Black news coverage of Black protests about police in 1990s & 2000s. Mainstream more focused on protester violence & police perspectives; Black news more on systemic critique & movement building. 1/2 osf.io/preprints/so...

Competitive authoritarianism describes a regime that maintains meaningful democratic institutions while suffering from serious incumbent abuse. The result? Electoral competition that is real but unfair.

Comparto un artículo en el que reviso los textos sobre la erosión democrática durante el gobierno de AMLO. En otras palabras, sistematizo los trabajos que argumentan que AMLO provocó un deterioro en la de por sí problemática democracia en México.

“Maduro’s coup-proofing forms the basis for his bet on Venezuela’s electronic voting system: If he actually wins more votes in a given election, accurate vote counting will validate his victory; if he loses, the military lets him keep power anyway.”

Peter Yarrow, whose vocals for the trio Peter, Paul and Mary helped establish them as one of the most popular folk acts of the 1960s, died on Tuesday at 86. The folk trio became a pop phenomenon with hits like “If I Had a Hammer” and “Puff the Magic Dragon.” nyti.ms/3PqOFIp

If you don't want to read someone's email on a holiday or weekend, DON'T CHECK YOUR EMAIL. Asynchronicity is why email is good. Ranting because someone else sent an email when you don't want to read it is a bad look. People have different life circumstances & schedules & religions.
