For this chart, I compared coverage of police brutality involving Black men versus Black women in the U.S., using “America,” “Police,” and “Activism” as a baseline over the past three months (mid-June through early September 2026)[cite: 2].

I chose this topic because of the well-documented gap in media attention between Black men and Black women killed by police (the “Say Her Name” movement grew directly out of this disparity), and I wanted to see whether that pattern still shows up in current coverage data[cite: 2].

For this chart, I compared coverage of three angles on AI data center expansion: job layoffs, water usage, and community protest, over the past three months (mid-June through early September 2026)[cite: 2].

I chose this topic because AI data center buildout has become a major flashpoint, and I wanted to see whether one framing of the story (economic, environmental, or activist) dominated coverage over the others[cite: 2].
