Hey, hey. Ho, ho. Reporters have got to go.
That’s what student protesters at the University of Missouri chanted last November as they surrounded student photographer Tim Tai, who was on assignment for ESPN to capture images from the protests that had led to the ouster of the president of the university system, Timothy M. Wolfe, and the chancellor of the flagship campus in Columbia, R. Bowen Loftin, over their response to racial issues on campus.
“Just back up,” one of the protesters told Tai. “You lost this fight. You lost this battle. Back up.”
Actually, Tai won.
