Rethinking the photo release
MPD PIO John Elder’s unintentional lesson for all communicators
The press release released by the Minneapolis Police Department following the murder of George Floyd should make all communicators consider how organization-first thinking can justify only telling our preferred narrative.

It can be easy for communicators who don’t work in social justice settings to believe “diversity” issues don’t matter in their work. We all must follow a journey to understand that is not the case.
