Unacceptable. RTDNA condemns Texas DPS' actions. CARLOS. WAS. JUST. DOING HIS. JOB.

🚨 UPDATE: Felony assault charges have now been dropped! Still, this arrest will have a chilling effect. RTDNA believes every time a journalist is harassed or hurt -- or arrested -- the ultimate victims are the members of the public journalists serve.

.RTDNA condemns the violent arrest & subsequent felony assault charges against FOX 7 Austin photojournalist Carlos Sanchez. Texas DPS claims Sanchez lunged his camera into the back of a state trooper at UT Austin. No, folks. As the video shows, he was just. doing. his. job.

Great visit from RTDNA Pres. Dan Shelley as he met with our Penn State students, watched their newscast and did a fascinating presentation on trust in local media coverage. Thanks Dan!

During this time of unspeakable horror in the Middle East, and protests/counter protests in the US and elsewhere, RTDNA urges journalists to double down on accuracy & thoroughness and, certainly, safety. We offer guidelines on covering civil unrest: rtdna.org/civil-unrest

Only if the public can see and hear this 1/6-related trial will there be any chance people have confidence in whatever the outcome may be. RTDNA
