Summer 2020 Racial Protests is a special news coverage initiative established by David Waxman for Local Now, documenting the nationwide protests for racial justice following the killing of George Floyd. Recognizing the significance of the movement, Waxman successfully petitioned for coverage beyond the network’s typical editorial scope. He wrote the stories and sourced the media, ensuring a balanced and thoughtful portrayal of the protests. The final edits were completed by an Associate Producer under his supervision, contributing to a broader newsroom shift in covering social justice issues. This is just one example of the many stories he produced.
