Extinction Rebellion Protests NOS Coverage of Climate, Gaza Conflict in Hilversum

A group of about a hundred activists from Extinction Rebellion demonstrated in front of the NOS building on Saturday. For the demonstrators, it is perfectly logical to link the climate crisis to criticism of journalism and the fate of the Palestinians. The question is whether XR will not lose support in society as a result. "Ultimately, you become a kind of folklore."

The NOS editors point out that discussions have been held with XR representatives at various times in recent years.

Extinction Rebellion wants to ‘occupy’ the Mediapark on Saturday in protest against the NOS reporting on the climate. The action group believes that the broadcaster is being led too much by the interests of large companies. Journalism is responding critically.
