Columbia J-School Students Learn That Playing Journalist Isn't All Fun And Games
We're hearing that two of the bright young things up at Columbia Journalism School were arrested last evening, after attempting to take video footage outside of the 33rd Precinct police station at 170th and Amsterdam for a story they were doing about the rise of crime in Washington Heights. The students were reportedly put in jail for two agonizing, torturous hours before being allowed to flee back to the safety of the computer labs at 116th and Broadway, where they would be able to regale their fellow budding journalists with tales of their courage, etc., in the face of the big, mean NYPD.
