A radio journalist has reached a $700,000 settlement with Los Angeles County officials over a 2020 incident in which she was taken into custody while covering a Black Lives Matter demonstration.
Josie Huang, a reporter affiliated with NPR’s LAist, was taken into custody in 12 September 2020, the night two LA sheriff’s deputies were shot in an apparent ambush. She was covering a protest outside the St Francis Medical Centre in Lynwood, where the deputies were being treated.
