Word: Life Preview Event | Reasonable Doubts at the Ford Foundation

"Reasonable Doubts: Hip Hop Journalism's Coverage of the War on Drugs," held on February 15, 2024.
A preview event for Word: Life, a two-day conference to recognize the people, publications, and programs that have shaped hip hop journalism over the past 50 years.
Hip hop journalists have played an important role documenting the elements of hip hop: music, dance, graffiti. They've also articulated a hip hop perspective on the world.
Join the Ford Foundation, Critical Minded, and Columbia Journalism School for an exploration of hip hop journalism's history. A panel of influential writers Donovan Ramsey (When Crack was King), Barry Michael Cooper (New Jack City), and Kim Osorio (The Source), in conversation with Elizabeth Méndez Berry (One World), will discuss hip hop journalism's coverage of one of the thorniest issues of our time: the war on drugs.
