Columbia journalism students are getting a crash course in breaking news that they likely never could have anticipated. In an eye-opening [dispatch]( from Charlotte Klein, the graduate cohort opens up about the unique challenges of chronicling their school’s pro-Palestinian protests, from navigating the perils of police crackdowns to sleeping on campus for round-the-clock coverage. “Something insane about all of this,” one student tells Klein, “is it’s happening directly in front of us.” Meanwhile, as tense standoffs between demonstrators and police play out at other colleges, Eric Lutz [asks]( whether Joe Biden’s condemnation of “disorder” will do much to lower the national temperature. Plus, Vanity Fair’s Dan Adler and New York magazine’s Olivia Nuzzi join Brian Stelter on the latest [episode]( of Inside the Hive to discuss whether Donald Trump is the ringmaster or the lion in the media circus surrounding his criminal trial.
