Winters French, St. Louis alderman and social media reporter. The journalists who covered the shooting death of Michael Brown by a white police officer in Ferguson discussed the challenges they faced uring the coverage. I late November, St. ouis County prosecutor Bob McCulloch an- ounced that the grand jury of nine whites and three blacks, who met on 25 days over three months, had determined Darren Wilson, 28, the police officer who shot Brown should face no harges.

After that announce- ent, the city erupted in iery protests that left everal businesses burnt to the ground and millions of dollars worth of damage. Carson and French live in the area and said it was unlike anything they ad ever seen. French, who will speak at Penn State University on Wednesday, said the discussions about race is a big part of progress. I think it is good to have these conversations everywhere," "Especially if they result in action in many ways. The Deep South in many ways is ahead of many places like issouri because they've been forced to have these conversations.

"But talk is only beneficial if it leads to action." Alcindor, who is based out of New York City, said a lthough she felt like she was behind other media outlets immediately after Brown's death, her persistence throughout the coverage led to USA Today being one of the first outlets to break the ews about the lack of an i ndictment in November. I was with Michael rown's mother the night the indictment (news) was announced," Alcindor said. "I've never seen someone's whole body shake. I thought of ways of how to paint a picture of that moment." Pat Embry, director of the Seigenthaler Chair, aid he planned on bring- i ng the panelists shortly a fter Brown was shot in August. I knew by Aug.

11that Iwanted this to be my first program," Embry said. "I hope we got a glimpse of what the real story is all about. I think this story is not over." "This was pretty cool," aid MTSU freshman Austin Cortez. "I hardly new anything about this anel discussion, and it urned out better than I expected it to be."
