You’d think a professor of mass media would appreciate the media’s role in covering a student demonstration.
CNN reporter Dylan Byers pointed out on Twitter that Melissa Click, an Assistant Professor was seen telling a camera man to “get out” in the video.
“Hey who wants to help me get this reporter out of here?” Click says. “I need some muscle over here.”
The incident happens at around 6:17 in this video taken by a man who identifies himself as a reporter. “I’m media, can I talk to you?” he asks.

Click holds a PhD in Communication and focuses her research on “popular culture texts and audiences, particularly texts and audiences disdained in mainstream culture,” according to her faculty page. Her current research projects include “50 Shades of Grey readers” and “the impact of social media in fans’ relationship with Lady Gaga.”
