Abstract
ABSTRACT Over the past decade, an emerging number of blogs, podcasts, websites, and social media channels report on news from an intersectional perspective, actively considering the intersecting impact of raced, gendered, sexed, and classed systems of oppression. However, what it practically means to produce intersection work is still ill-defined. Through semi-structured interviews with 13 intersectional news creators, this study aims to define the contours of what I term “intersectional journalism.” I argue a model of intersectional journalism differs from traditional journalistic practices by explicitly decentering any one particular identity, offering a news praxis that works towards the democratic ideals deeply rooted in the goal of journalism.
