Civil Trial

Social media has shifted the terrain for journalism, and offers platforms for counter-narratives, alternative views, and broader expertise. In Chapter 2, we focus on the social media response in three specific cases: (1) two separate trials for the murders of two Indigenous youth, Colten Boushie and Tina Fontaine, in central Canada, in which the two white men accused in their homicides were acquitted within a month of each other in early 2018; (2) the 2015 civil trial and discrimination case brought by Ellen Pao, a Silicon Valley venture capitalist, who was forced out of her job; (3) a 2016 #MeToo related moment in which writer Kelly Oxford asked women to share their stories through #notokay. In all three cases, we find a “battle for the story” that plays out in a range of ways from a refusal to participate, to talking back and resisting journalism’s habit of “hoarding the mic.”
