Press coverage for #MediaLiberationDay and the #CoverStory campaign!
"Aplanned protest campaign targeting newsstands by activist group ‘Media Revolution’ has newsagents and major retailers on alert. Described as ‘Media Liberation Day’, the group urged people to disrupt the sale of national newspapers in stores on 5 November by covering up their front pages.
Organiser Liz Pendleton told other activists: “We’ve got this direct action you can get involved with straight away You can print out these cover stories and you can put them on top of newspapers in newsagents and supermarkets to call out malignant media.”
The group and its false front covers criticise that many newspapers have ‘billionaire owners’. It claimed these individuals abuse this power to “push narrow, toxic agendas” such as anti-migrant rhetoric and opposition to preventing catastrophic climate change."
