Robservations on the media beat:<\/p>\n

Fred Hampton<\/p><\/div>\n

The Chicago police murder of Black Panther Party chairman Fred Hampton<\/strong>\u00a0at his West Side apartment in December 1969 was so miserably reported by major media outlets that reporters turned to the Chicago Journalism Review<\/a> to get the truth out. The result was a 16-page special edition with a detailed account of the murder and its attempted coverup. Coinciding with release of the Academy Award-nominated film \u201cJudas and the Black Messiah,\u201d<\/a> surviving editors of the Chicago Journalism Review have digitized and posted the complete issue online. (Here is the link.<\/a>) It includes resources to learn more about police and FBI roles in the assassination. Hank DeZutter,<\/strong> a former Chicago Daily News reporter who became editor of the Chicago Journalism Review, said the story \u201creverberates to this day, informing new generations and reinforcing the shocking memories of those who lived through this horrendous chapter in Chicago\u2019s and the nation\u2019s history.\u201d Founded in 1968, the nonprofit review was published monthly until 1975.<\/p>\n
