On Saturday afternoon, Michael Brown, a teenager in St. Louis County, Missouri, was shot and killed by police. I’ve started a Twitter list of reporters who are covering the news in Ferguson, Missouri, including Saturday night’s protests and Sunday’s press conference with police officers. Who am I missing? Please send suggestions to me at khare@poynter.org or @kristenhare. I was in St. Louis Saturday night visiting family and, like many others, watched the story of Mike Brown’s death unfold on Twitter. This is some of what we saw:
