Something I never thought about. On the ”reporter” side, it makes sense - go straight to the protestors, attempt to craft a story with their input. I'm saying this from a purposefully naive stance, as in this would be the classic picture of what a ”reporter” does. Wearing this hat, my impression of the protestors would be lowered by their uncooperative attitude. From another angle, the reporter’s work becomes a hit piece.

Most importantly - how much more aware might they be about making statements given our digital social media world? In short, I understand a lack of trust, and good reason for not trusting ”the media”.
