They’ve gotten a crash course in breaking news, capturing the Hamilton Hall occupation and the NYPD’s crackdown, while surviving on pizza and operating on little sleep. The students, says one professor, have “become professional journalists reporting on the biggest story right now, not only in the city, but in the nation.
A day later, hundreds of NYPD officers in riot gear—called in at Columbia president Minouche Shafik’s request—stormed onto campus, arresting more than 100 people. “Police were really, really adamant and effective at clearing out press and medics and legal observers,” Goodman said. “There was this feeling that we had seen this from the beginning, and we were so desperate to see it until the end.
“Student journalism is such an interesting foot in two worlds because it blurs the line between participant and observer,” said Goodman. Khan was teaching her conflict reporting class—one she’s taught for six years at Columbia—on Tuesday when they got wind that the NYPD was on their way. She disbanded class, sending everyone out to report using a buddy system. “Everyone had phone numbers on their arms for our attorney and press badges on their backs,” Khan said.
