A less-remembered fact of Chicago '68 is that dozens of journalists were beaten, arrested, and had notebooks confiscated or camera equipment smashed while they tried to report the news from the streets of Chicago during the 1968 Democratic National Convention. "Beating the Press: Why We Should Remember the Scarred Journalists of Chicago ’68" tells the stories of 51 journalists who were injured and/or arrested during the '68 DNC. https://medium.com/@dblobaum/beating-the-press-3be8f0cdf398
