Journalists paying any attention to Twitter last night likely saw the news that two reporters were arrested in Ferguson, Missouri, last night following days of protests after a police officer shot and killed teenager Michael Brown. That news and continuing tension between protesters and police made lots of national front pages and home pages on Thursday. Here’s how the news was presented in St. Louis and nationally:
