Folks from small underground outfits like Submedia.tv, I-Witness Video, Mobile Broadcast News, and others risked getting shot, gassed, and having the living shit kicked out of them by police for simply trying to get the word out about what was going on out there in the streets. This has led to some interesting debate regarding the validity of this kind of journalism as compared to, oh say FOX News, and whether these kind of “citizen journalists” should have the same rights and be held in the same regard as “official” credentialed journalists from corporate media outlets.  After dozens of media folk were arrested while filming or recording events during the RNC (including Yours Truly), The Society of Professional Journalists held a panel discussion to examine just how it all went down during the protests in St. Paul. You can see an interesting excerpt from the panel here and watch the first 30 minutes of the discussion here.

I am optimistic the judge on Feb. 2 will see this for the overreaching, ill-informed action that it is.
