As reaction to Wednesday’s police shooting of Philando Castile develops in the Twin Cities, Minnesota Public Radio is prepared to offer live reporting and ongoing coverage. MPR News will monitor and cover protests and news conferences over the weekend, and will offer special coverage if a major situation arises. This coverage will be available free of charge to all APM affiliate stations.

We will communicate special coverage through Content Depot alerts and email as quickly, and with as much detail, as possible. We have also reserved a studio and will do our best to provide two-way opportunities with MPR News reporters.

Please contact your Station Representative with any questions.
