Is the media getting the pro-Palestine campus protests story wrong?

Pro-Palestine protests and encampments that have sprung up on college campuses have gotten wall-to-wall media coverage. But Journalism Professor Danielle K. Brown argues news outlets are focusing too much on the spectacle, and not enough on the substance of the student protesters' demands. She joined Saraya Wintersmith to discuss how coverage could be improved.

How do you think the media has done in covering this story?

[@GeorgeMcConnell-nq3vd]

Ok only. To much coverage of protestors and not enough of who they actually are.

[@voccsaycee30]

Anyone thinking these protests are helping the world in any way are completely lost

[@DethWench]

There has been little coverage of what each campuses’ protesters were demanding, and how the college responded with negotiation. Some colleges negotiated agreements with protesters who took tents down. I wish there was more coverage of the demands and negotiations.

[@voccsaycee30]

They don't cover it because the demands are absurd and because negotiating with terrorists and their sympathizers is pathetic

Ask CBS

Anyone who watches PBS is a joke
