@OColly, @ryannovo62. Hey, look at that! Announcing finalists for university president. Guess all those people will be losing their jobs now, right? @FrankLoMonte

[Joey Senat @Joey_Senat]

@Blake_Doug918. A university announcing finalists for president. Feeling sorry for them because their current employers will fire them now, right?

[Oklahoma State SPJ @osuspj]

Thank you to our President-Elect @Adam_Morey17 & Secretary/Treasurer-Elect @allyson_luckie for stepping up to accept new leadership roles next school year. We appreciate what you do for MMJ majors at @osusmsc.

@osuspj I think @K_Schlott said this.

[Kelsy Schlotthauer @K_Schlott]

@kurtsteiss @osuspj Yes! Generalizing and stereotyping is so harmful.

[Kelsy Schlotthauer @K_Schlott]

@osuspj @kurtsteiss Yes, be light on your feet. And it’s important to note bullets were not used, nor were rubber bullets 😁 Pepper balls and tear gas, some smoke cover

[Oklahoma State SPJ @osuspj]

@benfelder_okc: Requested use documents from sheriffs about the military vehicles. Found most often use is for parades.

[Oklahoma State SPJ @osuspj]

@K_Schlott: Smaller protests have continued. Are they meeting where public can see? Shift coverage to abt the leaders/issues instead of 'breaking news' of few people. Find balance: What is the news?

[Oklahoma State SPJ @osuspj]

@benfelder_okc: Example: What are the demonstrators' demands? Get response from police, city officials? ... What is the broader context?

[Oklahoma State SPJ @osuspj]

@JetBTurner: what is newsworthy? How much coverage is too much?

[Oklahoma State SPJ @osuspj]

@benfelder_okc: We should be skeptical of power. Ask questions.

[Oklahoma State SPJ @osuspj]

@K_Schlott: Tulsa police expect us to be a partner. Asked reporters to stop covering protest. But no, you can't keep us from covering public events. And so many other people doing Facebook Live.

[Oklahoma State SPJ @osuspj]

@kurtsteiss: We're taught not to make the story about ourself. But if it's happening to us, it's happening to others. Try to focus on the people we're reporting on.

[Oklahoma State SPJ @osuspj]

@benfelder_okc: use some common sense -- heed police warning if possible. Even allowed to be there, calculate the risk. Is it vital that I be there at that moment?

[Oklahoma State SPJ @osuspj]

@K_Schlott: talked with newspaper editors about what to do if arrested. .... Stay as calm as possible at the time. ...

[Oklahoma State SPJ @osuspj]

@benfelder_okc: need conversations with police officials abt coverage before it happens.
