The reporters did the job they were supposed to do. Not sure what kind of trauma is being referred to but people who attend a public demonstration have to understand that their presence is news. The editors’ allegiance should be to the First Amendment.
Let’s not forget that these are students who attend NU to learn. So...this is a perfect time to learn. Protests are public events. They are vital to our democracy. Publishing journalistically sound stories about a protest is equally vital.
