## Resource

As a writer, podcaster, and columnist for TRNN, Adam Johnson has been one of the fiercest, sharpest, and most consistent critics of legacy and Western media’s roles in laundering, obscuring, justifying, and manufacturing consent for crimes against humanity committed in the Gaza genocide by Israel and with the full support of the United States. But critique is not enough anymore; to ensure that these horrific crimes don’t continue, we need accountability for the political actors and media organizations that made it happen, or helped. At a live event hosted by Red Emma’s Cooperative Bookstore and Coffeehouse in Baltimore, Maryland, TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez speaks with Johnson about his new book, How to Sell a Genocide: The Media’s Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza , and about how to hold media organizations accountable for their roles in manufacturing the conditions for genocide. Guests: Adam Johnson is a writer, media critic, co-host of the podcast Citations Needed , and a columnist for TRNN . He is the author of the book How to Sell a Genocide: The Media’s Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza .
