Reporters arrested while covering protests in Missouri  [1st Amend. Coalition, 8/15/14]: Police arrested two reporters, later released, from the Huffington Post and The Washington Post after a confrontation in McDonalds during the protest over the shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed young black man in Ferguson, Kansas.

Of course, it was that advertisement that gave rise to the celebrated ruling in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan (1964).
