NEW YORK, June 12 — A teenager who recorded the murder of George Floyd in a clear and unrelenting single shot with her cellphone was recognised yesterday by the arbiters of the highest honours in US journalism.
Frazier, 18, was recognised for recording a “transformative video that jolted viewers and spurred protests against police brutality around the world,” Mindy Marques, co-chair of the Pulitzer Board, said at Friday’s online announcement ceremony. She told jurors that she was taking her nine-year-old cousin to buy snacks when she saw “a man terrified, scared, begging for his life,” and so pulled out her cellphone and hit record. She uploaded the video to Facebook later that night, where it would be watched by millions of people around the world.Frazier could not be reached for comment on Friday, and a lawyer who represented her during the Chauvin trial did not respond to an email seeking comment.
Michael Deas, a professor at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, said Frazier’s video “fulfilled a public service.”

When it comes to music, Indians favour music videos | Malay MailMUMBAI, June 11 — While India is known to be home to legions of music fans, they're not particularly enamored with music streaming platforms. And to see why, look no further than YouTube and other video platforms that the country's billions of inhabitants are fond of for watching music videos.... It doesn't make sense to subscribe for cost to a music streaming platform with cheap data. This applies to Malaysia too.
