Jacob Wheeler, a journalism student at University of Southern California, expected to take some flack for reporting on the Israel-Hamas war, but he never thought it would get so personal.
A pro-Palestinian march stopped in front of USC’s Annenberg School for Communications and Journalism last fall and a masked protester called Wheeler out by name into a megaphone, accusing him of pro-Israel bias. Wheeler, who is 21, said he stopped reporting for Annenberg after the Oct. 31 incident, both because he was disappointed in the school’s response and out of concerns for his safety.
