Last fall, students at the University of Missouri, Columbia, made national news with protests against an administration that failed to act after a series of racists incidents. Those protests made news again when student journalists faced-off with a faculty member over access to a public space.
On Friday, the National Press Photographers Association and the University of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication will host a symposium on "First Amendment Issues in Public Spaces." The symposium includes MU students Tim Tai and Mark Schierbecker, CNN's Samira Jafari and Joe Johns and a crowd-sourced session on best practices with Kenny Irby, formerly of Poynter.
