Abstract

The 1619 Project (1619), without most of the scholarly vernacular, provides an excellent example of CRT's memetic/mimetic journalism. Such journalism has no detectable boundaries and quickly becomes akin to evangelism, if not propaganda. As part of journalistic ethics codes, accuracy resides as a central notion because it bonds the field together under the concept of reporting events as straightforwardly as possible. The introduction of this methodological chapter briefly examines The New York Times's partnership with the Pulitzer Center to present 1619 as a form of a memetic/mimetic historical curriculum. However, both journalistic institutions seem to overlook their ethical bond to reporting with accuracy. 1619 exists as an illustrative case of how CRT's ideological possession inspires overly determined, Arendtian-predicted action, even in journalism.
