HIV Legal Network Policy Analyst André Capretti speaks with Colin Hastings – a professor of Sociology and Legal Studies at the University of Waterloo and member of the Canadian Coalition to Reform HIV Criminalization – about his new book Digital News and HIV Criminalization. Among other topics Colin and André discuss how media articles live on long after legal proceedings are over – even when charges are dropped – and how sensational media narratives and outdated notions of “objectivity” perpetuate social harms.
