At least 4 journalists arrested outside GOP convention

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) At least four journalists were among those detained during violent protests outside the Republican National Convention in St. Paul today.

They include Associated Press photographer Matt Rourke and Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now!, a nationally syndicated public radio and TV news program.

One of her producers says Goodman was intervening on behalf of two other producers for her program, Sharif Abdel Kouddous and Nicole Salazar, when she was arrested.

St. Paul police spokesman Tom Walsh said he had no immediate information on the four.
