Marion, Kansas, Newspaper Editor Speaks About Police Raid, Mother’s Death

Police in the small Kansas town of Marion raided a local newspaper’s office Friday. The raid, first reported on by the online news outlet the Kansas Reflector, effectively stopped publication of the paper and placed a national spotlight on Marion, a city of fewer than 2,000 people about 160 miles southwest of Kansas City. The owner and publisher of the Record, Eric Meyer, along with First Amendment advocates and journalism organizations from across the country, have said the raid went too far.
