Yes.... I am watching local news - they finally jumped in regular programming as soon as the cell phone was stolen. KTVI (Fox2) has someone mixed in with the protesters.

Most reporters (local) are in with the crowd filming.

That’s the way I heard it too. The police want to help the people who actually live in the neighborhood get through so they can go home.

Pool (?), the guy on VICE says the media is exacerbating the situation, and he says it’s “odd.”

‘I am Mike Brown’ is back up for a short video. Says that he lost the signal as did other reporters - noone could send data. He is in parking lot by Target waiting for a presser and signs off until something happens.

One thing that should come of this is exactly WHO is considered “Media”. In the modern age of instant news by individuals, pretty much anywhere on the globe, it’s a question that needs to be asked.

Is it the recognized TV stations that or former glory newspapers that pay a yearly fee to some group?

Is it the guy streaming on his phone to 100,000 people, live? (Sometimes more than is watching, reading the “Recognized” Media)

Is it some guy with a web page? Is VICE, Breibart, or Buzzfeed, with millions of daily readers considered “media”? Is Free Republic?

Or is it ONLY to be those “recognized” by the pols in charge? Will only reporters that play along with local pols get “Credentials”?

I think it must be EXTREMELY easy to get press creds.

I see that 'I am Mike Brown' just suffered another "door ajar" moment.

Priceless video is posted on top of page. Muhammed? seems very sad about missing out on tonight's action due to "No.Network.Error". Also glumly reports that tweets were a no-go:

if am understanding correctly ... media is being forced into this area except those having gone to where press conference will be held. Think press conference is at Target. Vice just said 90% plus in that area is media.

Yes. The police lit up a parking lot with a flood light and told the protesters (very few of them left) that they could stay there all night if they want to, but they have to stay in that parking lot. Still some controversy over whether the police will allow any members of the media to stay in the parking lot as well.
