SUB NEWS ELEMENTS:
-
- There is also a high level of impact which also counteracts with prominence since this killing was one of the many tragic and unjust murders that led to the BLM movement. It affects people on a level where people, specifically Black people do not feel safe, and feel a sense of endangerment due to racial motives.
- The media article also displays conflict due to discussing court an appropiate sentencing for the murder of Ahmed Arbery since it is said to be racially motivated. There are groups of people that do not agree with this.
- Prominence is very prominent in this specific media article. Ahmaud Arbery is one of the many tragic murders/lynchings that progressed the BLM movement and changed the world. When people see this name, you more than likely think of BLM.
