ENVIRONMENTALISTS in New York City (NYC) marked Earth Day this morning by targeting major US corporate media entities that are “failing to cover the climate emergency with the frequency it deserves.”
Activists from Extinction Rebellion NYC blockaded the plant where the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and USA Today are printed by chaining themselves together, erecting banners and parking a boat at its entrance.
Extinction Rebellion NYC said the purpose of today’s action was to draw the public’s attention to how mass media corporations like Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp, the New York Times Company and Gannet have failed to cover the ecological crisis.
