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 .
