The article focuses on the overlapping crises and major news events in 2020 and the omission of Indigenous, Black, Latina, and AAPI women participating in interviews about these topics on Sunday morning news programs.

“We typically don’t hear from the people who are directly affected by an issue, which leads to their narratives being diminished,” Grant said. “It leads to the media moving forward with preconceived notions of narratives and sticking to oppressive tropes.”
