See Mass Media professor under fire for confronting video journalist at Mizzou. This is outrageous, and I sincerely hope that the University of Missouri community fully recognizes this fact.

Why would anyone desire a media black-out unless they wanted something hidden from the public?

It makes me wonder how someone could have "professor" and "media" in their title, teach it, and insist a journalist leave.
Precisely.

Wow.....a chance for everyone to agree about something!

What? Me worry?
Big difference between being smart and being wise.
In the best of all possible world the principle-centered vanguard of the University of Missouri Civil Rights Movement would be at the forefront of those expressing outrage at Click.
Aye that!
The prof appologizes.....

But given how her behavior directly conflicted with her position there
(in the School Of Journalism), I say she should be given the boot.

Wow. Not being American I'm unfamiliar with College life (our Uni cultures are probably a little different) but what the hell is up with American Colleges lately? All I keep hearing about are weird **** like "safe spaces" and crazy crap like this. Like America, are you doing alright? The rest of us are a bit worried.
We're wrestling with a trend to give up liberty in exchange for the security of everyone feeling like a special snowflake.
Is "special snowflake" being over-used to the point of nausea?

No. People here love pretending they are a special snowflake, and it's not working because they aren't.
There's some truth there ...

I'm still trying to figure out what the brouhaha was about.
A demonstration in a public space that doesn't want to be seen or heard? Why were they there?
This is what I've vaguely put together from the radio bits I've heard. Some pretty racist things were going on at the university, the president was claimed to not be doing anything about it, some people were protesting in, and the protesters were trying to institute a "no-media" zone for themselves, I guess. Some teacher associated with this grouping in one way or another basically was I guess trying to enforce this in some manner or another on the journalists that were around, including some students, and said something something to the tune of, "we need some muscle over here." Goes on internet, explodes, one trail by social media later, lady is the path of being fired. Then I guess the black football players threatened to boycott a game, and the coaches to agree, and this drove the president to resign.
Something along those lines.
