After this event sparked protests against police brutality across the globe, it sparked something else: increased attention on the police and prison abolition movement and a national conversation around the reimagining of the systems of policing and imprisonment in the United States. This study analyzes how recent attention on the police and prison abolition movement has been covered by the media in the United States, specifically how coverage differs depending on the locality and political leanings of the news source.application/pdfengThis work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International Licenseinfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisprison abolitionpolice abolitiondefund the policedefund prisonspolice reformprison reformmedia coverage of the abolition movementmedia coverage of social movementsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
