80 protesters arrested

The videos that protesters occupied Wall Street have revealed through lots of social networking media. Before my professor of journalism talked about this issue, I didn’t know anything about it. That is because I didn’t see any articles about it on the majorities of news media such as CNN and The New York Times etc. I tried to find out what was exactly going on over Wall Street but the majorities of news media just covered something happened between police and the protesters like using pepper spray.

One of protesters on the interview of minority news said that he tried to call and ask the majorities of news to announce and cover it on the news or newspaper, but they just hung up on them, they did blackout. Why did they not cover what protesters wanted to say ? However, before we just think about it, we need to consider what this demonstration is for and why people gather more and more. Protesters first started demonstrating on financial system as other demonstration has happened in NYC. After the happening, using pepper spray, this event spread out all over the states of the U.S and people just focused on what they saw, not the purpose of the demonstration, then they just formed a public, who became protesters, with just anger. would they just respond to the happening, not to the original demonstration ?

I looked for the news about it through the social networking, and then I saw lots of videos which showed the brutality on the street. I had a chance to pass by Wall Street on Wednesday, there were lots of barricades surrounding all the main streets in financial district and the police guarded all around there, but no protesters.
