Climate change protest: a single radical gets more media coverage than thousands of marchers

Yet recently in the UK that statement is being challenged by disruptive environmental protesters unexpectedly gatecrashing live sporting broadcasts.

Key Points: 
  • Yet recently in the UK that statement is being challenged by disruptive environmental protesters unexpectedly gatecrashing live sporting broadcasts.
  • At the end of April, live on ITV the animal rights protesters Animal Rising delayed the country’s biggest horse race, the Grand National, by 15 minutes.
  • From April 21 to 24, Extinction Rebellion (XR) held four days of peaceful protest in central London attracting an estimated 60,000 people.
  • Certainly if the idea was to attract more or better headlines, the results seem underwhelming.

The media was already unsympathetic

    • Even before the Big One had started, right-wing press coverage was already unsympathetic.
    • Plus journalists claimed there was a good chance that the London Marathon would be targeted.
    • The MailOnline ran one positive article but alongside a negative piece warning that coachloads of “grinning eco zealots” planned to closedown London.
    • The Channel 4 reporter’s summation was that The Big One was a cross between a music festival and a village fete.

Disruptive protest attracts attention

    • Across the weekend, the #TheBigOne hashtag was dominated by XR protesters arguing that disruptive protest is reported but non-disruptive is not.
    • Academic research backs this up, showing a clear imbalance in the media coverage of disruptive and non-disruptive protest.
    • My own ongoing research on younger climate activists suggests they won’t be put off as within XR they are able to decide what protest they will and will not participate in.
