| 1. DETROIT MUSIC FESTIVAL WON’T CHARGE WHITE PEOPLE DOUBLE AFTER BACKLASH: A music festival in Detroit that initially charged white people double for tickets it charged people of color has changed its pricing rules after facing backlash. Afrofuture Fest initially charged people of color $20 and white people $40 on Eventbrite; now, all tickets will be $20. The New York Times: “The decision to change course came after threats and harassment, said Adrienne Ayers, who goes by Numi and is the founder and co-director of Afrofuture Youth. She said that after right-wing websites highlighted the pricing, people called and harassed the owner of the venue, and sent messages to her co-director’s family. The pricing structure also led one performer, Jillian Graham, a rapper whose stage name is Tiny Jag, to drop out of the event.” 2. TRUMP’S SOCIAL MEDIA EVENT MIGHT DRAW FAR-RIGHT INTERNET PERSONALITIES: President Trump is hosting a “Social Media Summit” at the White House on Thursday, where multiple far-right Internet personalities are expected to gather. The president is expected to use the event to criticize social media companies' supposed censorship of conservative voices. Talking Points Memo: “One of the people who claims they’ve been invited to the event has published anti-Semitic cartoons. Another has promoted the bizarre and wide-ranging QAnon conspiracy theory. A third is a celebrated meme-r whose creations have been tweeted by President Trump. The White House does not seem eager to confirm the invitees. Declining to confirm an actual invite list, White House deputy press secretary Judd Deere said in an email, ‘This event will bring together digital leaders for a robust conversation on the opportunities and challenges of today’s online environment.’” 3. WOMEN’S WORLD CUP FINAL DRAWS HIGHER RATINGS THAN MEN’S 2018 FINAL: The Women’s World Cup final on Sunday drew more viewers than the men’s final in 2018. The United States’ 2-0 victory over the Netherlands drew 13.98 million viewers on Fox, which is 12 percent higher than the 12.51 million that tuned into the 2018 men's final between France and Croatia. The Hollywood Reporter: “Streaming added an average minute audience of 289,000 (a 400 percent increase over 2015), bringing the total to 14.27 million on Fox Sports platforms. Telemundo added 1.6 million viewers—the most ever for a Women's World Cup match on a Spanish-language network—for a total of 15.87 million on all platforms. … The U.S. audience for this year's final is third all-time for Women's World Cup games, behind the 2015 final and the final match of 1999 (18 million). The cross-platform audience is a good distance ahead of the 2011 final's 13.5 million viewers. Sunday's telecast also ranks sixth all-time for any U.S. national team World Cup match, men or women." |
