The Girl Behind the Blog

I am a 20-year-old Black British female, currently studying Communications and Media at University. As a black female, the propaganda I see across the media surrounding black lives causes me to question the society that I live in. However, as a media student I know to take everything I see online, on my phone and that the media promotes and covers, with a pinch of salt. I have created this page focusing on the “Black Lives Matter” movement because I believe that we have formed opinions based on what we see in the media, both on the web and on our mobiles. I want to help identify just how biased our opinions are to the BLM movement, as a consequence of relying on the media and the internet.

Finding Common Ground.

We live in a society that is surrounded by controversy, much of it has been spoon fed to us without our knowledge. To the point in which we all feel as though we know enough. However, when the conversation arises we find ourselves questioning the full extent of said knowledge. This movement has so much controversy and propaganda surrounding it, it would be foolish not to the question whether we are shown accurate facts. Is there more to the movement than what we see online or on our phones. Does the news or the internet accurately represent or relay the facts to society or do we receive a biased opinion, do we receive any opinion at all?
