according to WKCR the NYPD threatened to arrest jelani cobb -- the dean of the journalism school -- if he left the j-school building.

One reporter said the journalists who were in the journalism school buildings are now allowed to leave again, but he said he’s in another building where riot police are outside and he is not allowed to leave. “I’ve been up for 39 and a half hours and I just want to go home.”

The host of the WKCR show just pointed out the incongruent situation of a university that “supposedly cares enough about journalism to have a journalism program” but the journalists are told by police officers that if they come out of the Journalism building, they’ll be arrested.

You may well have the unusual situation of the Columbia student radio station being eligible for a Pulitzer Prize, administered by Columbia University, for the station’s coverage of how Columbia called the cops on Columbia students. (They’re doing an extraordinary job).

Pretty remarkable: CNN reporter Julia Vargas Jones is live ON CAMPUS as the NYPD gathers outside Columbia University. 'I could only get in because I'm a student,' she notes, because she's also a grad student at Columbia Journalism

Some of the biggest voices in hockey don’t see anything wrong with that Ryan Whitney post and then are shocked when people say the culture of this sport needs to change.

.Columbia University is now barring all media from accessing the campus & reporting accurately on what is happening at the university

so how will Columbia administer the Pulitzers with any integrity now?

waiting for literally ANY public comment from Columbia Journalism on this decision…

lemme get this straight: the Football Association of Zambia allegedly used govt money to fly out two 'associates' to men's AFCON, and now the women's team might be barred from the Olympics?

btw, Zambia men didn't make it outta their group at AFCON 🙃theguardian.com/football/2024/…

'it turns out, seeing a sport you’ve covered for a decade and loved for far longer *finally* get the attention it deserves stirs up a lot of conflicting emotions.'

Understand why this is threatened but it would be such a poor outcome

Zambia have been one of THE success stories in international football over the past 5 years, despite a nightmarish federation. For the players to be punished as a result of the fed's behaviour would be a joke
