Jade Mardirosian, a Lariat staff writer, interviewed us today about our research on the Jasper dragging. The story ran a day after Lawrence Russell Brewer, 44, a white supremacist, was executed after being convicted of taking part in the murder of James Byrd Jr. 13 years ago.
Jade's story was one of the better ones in reflecting Jasper realistically. http://baylorlariat.com/2011/09/22/8955/

Dr. Mia Moody-Ramirez, assistant professor of journalism, believes that intial coverage of the James Byrd Jr. dragging murder unfairly stigmatized the city of Jasper as racist.
