This senior faculty member at Columbia University learned about NYPD entering campus from *student-run radio.* I still haven't been officially informed. Unless you count the text alert telling me to 'shelter in place' and threatening 'disciplinary action' for 'non-compliance.'

Student journalists at WKCR are having to correct professional media, including CNN, claiming the Columbia protesters aren't students.

What a black mark on our industry, forcing student reporters to fact-check our unsubstantiated claims while they watch police raid their campus

It’s wild that this is the main narrative we would have without WKCR, whose broadcast is buckling under the flood of listeners

the university that administers the Pulitzer Prizes is trying to make sure there is nobody on-site to document what is about to happen

Really wanna shout out the incredible work being done by the Columbia students reporting on WKCR-FM NY right now. You can listen to 89.9 on Apple Music

They are completely flooding the building from all sides - WCKR students. They're talking about police with sledgehammers entering the hall and also entering through the window.

'We're being escorted off the premises by NYPD. ' There's no one left to document what's going on at Hamilton - WKCR journalists.

'I'm not exaggerating here. I saw a sea of riot gear police. Not a speck of road.'

- what Columbia students are facing right now. Student journalists at WKCR are doing an incredible job reporting

We should all be applauding reporters at The Appeal, who are 1. calling prosecutors to see if they'll pursue charges against protesters + 2. tracking who is up for election this year. Props to Elizabeth Weill-Greenberg 🇵🇸, Ethan Corey, Jerry Iannelli, Meg O'Connor!

There’s a growing NYPD presence outside Columbia’s campus right now… including high ranking officers, supervisors, captains, and community affairs. They’ve launched a drone over Hamilton Hall.
