The University of Texas at Austin’s Center for Media Engagement encourages students to frame their stories in “solidarity” toward marginalized communities and is funded in part by billionaire George Soros.
Under the Solidarity Journalism Initiative, students are taught to avoid using systemically harmful labels, including words like “inmate” or “convict.” Advocates argue that framing journalism through the lens of systemic racial oppression “is not biased—it’s public service.”
According to the UT CME, they “envision a vibrant American media ecosystem that more effectively empowers the public to understand, appreciate, and participate in the democratic exchange of ideas.”
The UT CME and the UT Knight Center (a collaboration between UT and the Knight Foundation) are funded by large corporations like Microsoft, Facebook, Google, Univision, the Ford Foundation, and the Open Society Foundation.
The Open Society Foundation was founded by Soros, who is known for funding “racial justice,” anti-police activist groups, and pro-crime district attorneys in Texas. Recently, Soros has been funding political action committees with the goal of making Texas a Democrat-controlled state.
