Parkland activist David Hogg called out the media in a broadcast interview with Axios on Friday, March 23. Addressing the attention his fellow Marjory Stoneman Douglas (MSD) survivors-turned-activists were given in the aftermath of the Parkland, Florida, school shooting on February 14, David was critical of the lack of minority representation in media coverage.

When asked what the biggest mistake the media had made in covering the Parkland students's work, he told Axios, "Not giving black students a voice. My school is about 25% black, but the way we're covered doesn't reflect that." (According to the Broward County School District's website, around 40% of the students who attend schools in the district are black. Individual school statistics were not available for MSD on Broward County's website.)

There's a long history of black teenagers fighting for gun control as part of the Black Lives Matter movement's efforts to draw attention to policy brutality. Activists like Kenidra Woods, Nza-Ari Khepra, Clifton Kinnie, and Parkland student Nick Joseph have been working on the issue in Parkland, Chicago, and Ferguson, Missouri. And they have wisdom to share from their time as activists.

In his interview on Friday, David also took a question about the new school safety measures in place at MSD since the February 14 attack. The school announced on March 21 that students would be required to bring clear backpacks to school after two students brought knives to school and the suspected shooter's brother allegedly trespassed on the school's campus. The school said it would provide clear backpacks for any students in needs, alongside new ID badges for every student that will be mandatory to wear at all times. The New York Times reported that eight Florida State Highway Patrolman were dispatched to the school on Thursday to help secure its entrances. Armed guards have been a key plank in Parkland's new security measures since the first day students returned to the school following the shooting.

David told Axios that his school now feels "like a prison" due to the new measures. He was critical of the accountability placed on law enforcement and on politicians who are lead law enforcement agencies.

"I know law enforcement are some of the hardest working individuals in this country," He said. "We need to realize that there are serious issues not only at the FBI and Broward County Sheriff, but with politicians too who are responsible for government agencies."

David has been one of the most outspoken MSD students to call for action following the Parkland shooting. He's called for a spring break boycott of the state of Florida, graded gun legislation in a 60 Minutes interview, and shut down conspiracy theories that he's a crisis actor with a sharp sense of humor. He was one of the first students to be given a national platform, as he was interviewed live on CNN the day of the shooting where he made an impassioned plea for action from politicians.
