The Earth from space. Squatting over North America, casting a long shadow and ringed by a red, spiky halo, is the poop emoji from the cover of the US edition of 'Enshittification,' with a grawlix-scrawled black bar over its mouth, wearing a Trump wig. Leaching through the starscape is a 'code waterfall' effect as seen in the credits of the Wachowskis' 'Matrix' movies.

Officer-Involved: The Media Language of Police Killings* | The Quarterly Journal of Economics | Oxford Academic


This article examines language patterns in U.S. television news coverage of police killings. First, we document that the media use syntactic structures—such as passive voice, nominalizations, and intransitive verbs—that obscure responsibility more often in cases of police killings than in cases of civilian killings. Through an online experiment, we demonstrate the significance of these syntactic differences, revealing that participants are less likely to hold police officers morally responsible and demand penalties when exposed to obfuscatory language, particularly in cases involving unarmed victims. Further analysis of news data shows greater use of obfuscatory language when the victims are unarmed or video footage is available—situations in which obfuscation may have the greatest impact. Exploring the causes of this differential obfuscation, we do not find evidence that it is driven by either demand-side factors or supply-side factors associated with TV station ownership and political leaning. Instead, our results suggest that narratives crafted by police departments are more likely drivers of media obfuscation. This article highlights how syntactic choices and their semantic consequences in media shape perceptions, extending beyond coverage volume and bias.

Hmm? Oh, hi!

New year, new social media to terrorize, huh?

Hi. I'm Sai. Like, in shy, which… it is also applicable. I'm an artist, tho not a professional -mainly because I'm not getting paid- and I fled the conventional social media and their now unavoidable awful environment a few years ago. Been posting drawings on Mastodon this last year -you can see most of my stuff on #SnoringBeauty-, and I felt like spreading a bit. Besides, never had tumblr, so… why not something similar?

I'll try to be a bit more active than simply two drawings per week, maybe doodles and silly stuff. And puns. And Simpsons references. And Simpsons puns. Probably some coding stuff and 3D modelling too, we'll see.

Fear me. :BlobCat_Googly_Knife:

Toodle-oo!
