Four more journos arrested in St. Louis
At Tuesday's "state of press freedom event" at the Paley Center, the speakers highlighted a disturbing increase in the # of journalists arrested and assaulted at protests this year. At almost the same time we were speaking, there were more arrests in St. Louis. Two journalists from the progressive outlet The Young Turks -- Jordan Chariton (shown above) and Ty Bayliss -- were arrested. So was live-streamer Jon Ziegler (for the second time in less than a month) and freelance photojournalist Daniel Shular.
Over 100 people were arrested last night in the ongoing protests..
