![Rick Davis: Covering the FSM (part 1 of 2)](images/fileicons/nodigital.png)
Call Number: CE 691Format: 1/4 7 1/2 ipsProducers: Colin EdwardsCollection: Colin Edwards Free Speech Movement
Interview with prominent television reporter, writer and producer Rick Davis about his experiences reporting on the FSM. His coverage began with the car top rally in October 1964 and continued through the Sproul Hall sit-in in December. He is critical of some student viewpoints and tactics, with an especially harsh assessment of Mario Savio, but describes himself as being strongly invested in free speech and accurate reporting, and exposes many of the distortions and fabrications that were present in his colleagues’ reporting, such as invented reports of break-ins and vandalism. He describes police violence, and their attempts to discourage press coverage. He discusses the various political factions on campus and the role that right-wing students held within the FSM.
