WATCH: Someone called to buy a year-long subscription to Marion County Record. This has happened a lot since the raid. But, the special request this person made is a first! You 💯 percent want to watch. 👇

Daring, important and all-too-appropriate coverage of the @UNC shooting by the indomitable staff of the @dailytarheel (via @TheTNHoller @caitlyn_yaede)

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

Powerful — front page of tomorrow’s @dailytarheel. (H/T @caitlyn_yaede)

Text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday during lockdown.

Our kids shouldn’t have to live like this. 🇺🇸

[Real Facebook Oversight Board @FBoversight]

🚨New: Meta rejects its Oversight Board’s recommendation to suspend the account of former Cambodian PM Hun Sen after he used his accounts to incite violence.

Once again Facebook renders its Oversight Board meaningless as the recommendation was non-binding

We agree!

Interview with retired @UofIllinois @MediaAtIllinois journalism professor Eric Meyer, owner/editor of the Marion County Record, via @ILPublicMedia & @21stShow

[Jessica McMaster @JessMcMasterKC]

NEW: Steve Leben, former judge, calls Chief Gideon Cody’s affidavits “weak.”

BUT, GET THIS: Leben points out the Marion police chief never disclosed the dispute he had with the paper when seeking the warrant to raid the newsroom. @KSHB41

[Jessica McMaster @JessMcMasterKC]

JUST IN: I’ve obtained video of the police raid from inside Joan Meyer’s home, co-publisher of Marion County Record. Meyer is visibly upset with police and is using a walker as she yells, “this is my home.”

An update from Marion County Record @marionrecord publisher- and former @MediaAtIllinois journalism prof- on the unprecedented raid on his KS newspaper https://t.co/0X3PMc0Oxs

[IlliniJournalism @UIjournalism]

Our heartfelt condolences to our friend and colleague Eric Meyer. May Joan, his mother, rest in peace. @MediaAtIllinois @UofIllinois

[Alyssa Jackson KSHB 41 @thealyssaj]

We are in Marion County bright and early for the celebration of life of Joan Meyer. Longtime editor and co-publisher of the Marion Record. She died one day after police raided her home. She was 98 years old. @KSHB41

[Media at Illinois @MediaAtIllinois]

A warm welcome to our College of Media freshmen and transfer students! We're excited to start Fall 2023 with you! Check out photos from Meet Media: https://t.co/Dy7S33onGX

[Jessica McMaster @JessMcMasterKC]

Surveillance video showed a reporter at Marion County Record being read her Miranda rights. I asked Eric Meyer, the paper’s owner about it.

“It’s inconceivable of a journalist being read their Miranda rights for doing their job.”

This is so quintessentially Meyer. This image has transported me to the mid-1990s and I have just pulled an all-nighter in the basement of Greg Hall
