February 27, 2008<\/p>\n

Lawrence “Larry” King was shot to death and the media thought that you didn’t need to know about it. <\/span><\/p>\n

Larry, as you might have now learned, was fifteen and in his junior high school computer lab when Brandon McInerney, 14, followed through on a previously declared threat and shot King.<\/p>\n

The mainstream media apparently didn’t think that you needed to know that King had recently come out as gay and had started to wear lipstick, mascara, earrings, and a pair of particularly fierce high heeled boots<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The first LA Times article on the shooting made no reference to Larry’s sexual orientation, or his manner of dress. <\/span>When the mainstream media first reported the murder, it was stated that the violence stemmed from a “personal dispute” between the two boys. <\/span>In contrast, ten years ago, the first AP story on Matthew Sheppard’s assault included information about his sexual orientation, a fact that had played a role in his victim status. <\/span><\/p>\n

Youth groups across the country began holding marches in King’s honor. <\/span>Details of his death was spread virally on youth-dominated, Facebook. <\/span>Queer media outlets bubbled over with coverage of the story. <\/span>The mainstream media remained silent.<\/p>\n

Only now, two weeks after King’s murder, is the mainstream media providing coverage of the story. <\/span>All of those who did not cover the story when it was, well, news, are now covering how it was a story no one else covered either.<\/p>\n

Anderson Cooper, wrote in his blog:<\/p>\n

“Tonight… we are focusing on a story that hasn’t received the attention it deserves…According to many accounts, he had been bullied repeatedly, and some parents have even claimed students knew of threats to Lawrence’s life. At this point it doesn’t seem clear how much school officials knew of the bullying, but a full investigation needs to be done. If this had been an African-American student bullied by a teenage skinhead, would it have received more attention?<\/p>\n

“Would school officials have taken it more seriously if it had been a Christian campus leader attacked by another student because of his\/her religious beliefs? I don’t have the answers to those questions, but I do think they are worth asking.”<\/p>\n

All good questions, and I’m grateful they’re being asked, but where was Cooper two weeks ago?<\/p>\n

Not that Cooper is alone in his delay. <\/span>It took the two Democratic candidates for President thirteen days to release comments on King’s death.<\/p>\n

The New York Times took four days before running an AP snippet on the murder, and eleven days before they wrote their first story.<\/p>\n

MTV News, a leader in coverage of youth issues, ran its first story on King nine days after the murder.<\/p>\n

You get the idea.<\/p>\n

I bring this all up because these are indeed questions to which there are no easy answers. <\/span>It is not a new concept that violence against the queer community is often seen as a non-story. <\/span><\/p>\n

And yet, despite temptation to declare this mainstream silence as a blatant expression of homophobia, I believe it’s more complicated than just that.<\/p>\n

As a journalist who presently works in a position where it is my job to notice civil rights stories the media is ignoring, and to seek appropriate coverage, this case particularly stood out for me. <\/span><\/p>\n

Despite my daily intake of large amounts of newsfeeds, I also first learned of this story via a friend’s Facebook post. <\/span>Although this particular story falls outside of the purview of my job, I began emailing various journalist friends to figure out what was going on with their silence. <\/span>These email exchanges quickly produced no real answers.<\/p>\n

In an exchange with one of my most queer-friendly, mainstream media pals, no answers were found to the question of the silence. <\/span>It was almost as if the institutional hindrances to seeing this as a story were so thick that they were impossible to define.<\/p>\n

I asked my journalist source why the story hadn’t received the coverage it deserves. <\/span>She said she didn’t really know, but likely the large shooting outside of Chicago was simply seen as a larger story. <\/span>I pointed out that King was shot and two news cycles went by before the Illinois shooting. <\/span>I pointed out that it was hard not to see shades of homophobia in the media not seeing King’s death as a big story. <\/span>She wrote back that a boy wearing women’s clothing is exactly the type of thing the media would love to make a story out of. <\/span>I replied that regardless of that assumption, the lack of coverage would say otherwise. <\/span>This went on for a number of rounds. <\/span><\/p>\n

Our exchange ended with her agreeing to research the story a bit more, and with her asking if I had contacts for King’s friends and family. <\/span>I had to point out that I wasn’t inquiring to pitch her for my work; that I was merely an upset citizen, trying to make sense of the silence. <\/span><\/p>\n

Her news organization took days more before they ran their first piece of coverage.<\/p>\n

That “Mainstream Media” is made up of endless such folks, people who cared about the story, who engaged in private exchanges about it. <\/span>And yet, and yet, the coverage remained absent.<\/p>\n

I believe that we know the answer to Anderson Cooper’s questions. <\/span>Yes. <\/span>Yes, the death of Queer folks earns less mainstream outrage. <\/span>(Has anyone heard of Simmie “Beyonce” Williams Jr.? <\/span>Another feminine dressing, out-as-gay, young male of color, who was murdered this last weekend? <\/span>Or Senesha Steward, who was killed in early February? <\/span>It also deserves to be examined what role the races of these youth played in the lack of coverage their murders were given.) <\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, such crimes tend to be taken less seriously.<\/p>\n

What I don’t know is why. <\/span>Why the impenetrable silence on this story, when reporters in numerous organizations agree that it was always a story worth covering? <\/span>And perhaps even more bizarrely, why the sudden onrush of belated coverage? <\/span>Why is it now popular for the mainstream media to cover how unpopular it was for the mainstream media to cover King’s death in the weeks after it first occurred?<\/p>\n

Lawrence King is dead. <\/span>And were it not for groups of hurt and angry young people, none of us may have ever heard King’s name. <\/span><\/p>\n

Whether the mainstream media agrees or not, that fact is something worth our attention.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
