Extinction Rebellion activists demonstrate at NOS building

(HILVERSUM) Dozens of Extinction Rebellion activists demonstrated at the NOS building at the Media Park in Hilversum on Saturday. They hung banners on the facade and lit smoke flares. The demonstration was over after about two and a half hours.
The action group is dissatisfied with the NOS's reporting on the climate crisis and the war in Gaza. The demonstration had been announced.
The editor-in-chief of NOS points out that they have spoken to representatives of XR at various times in recent years.
"Everyone has the freedom to criticize and to demonstrate," says Giselle van Cann, editor-in-chief of NOS News. "But ultimately, journalism chooses its own words. That is what freedom of the press means."
