A Reporter’s Guide to Covering Campus Protests

Back to Skills

Long the site of sit-ins, protests, and acts of civil disobedience, college campuses have, once again, become flash points for broader debates around race, free speech, and other highly-emotive issues.

Lisa Pemberton, an award-winning journalist and news team leader for The Olympian, knows well the challenges of covering protests, having spent much of her time recently covering racial tension and student protests at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington.

Pemberton shared advice and tips with journalists during EWA’s higher education seminar at Georgia State University this month.

View her presentation below and catch up on other tips shared by veteran journalists during the discussion here.
