How much news coverage will the March get?

[edhopper]

I'm guessing as much as the anti-war protest I went to in 2003 with at least 200-300,000 people..

About 5 minutes in the middle of the evening news, no live coverage on CNN.

Oh yes, also equal time to the couple of dozen counter protesters.

1. I was wondering the same thing

If it's not covered...it's kind of like it didn't happen...

[guillaumeb]

2. The anti-NATO march in Chicago was barely covered, even locally.

And the visuals were mainly focused on the heavily armed quasi-military police who were standing literally shoulder to shoulder along most of the march route.

The corporate media is always looking for/hoping for violence.

3. Trump threatens the press

I think it will be covered. I hope I am not being naive.

[HoneyBadger]

4. If the Clintons and the Obamas choose to march, a lot

This is tailor made for Sasha, bet a lot of her classmates will be out there. I bet there will be plenty of I'm With Her shirts.

5. It's on Saturday.... even if they did wall to wall coverage, no viewers..AND...

TwitterTrump will do/twitter stuff to make him the news.

He's a showman, P.T. Barnum... he'll find a way to make himself the news

[UTUSN]

22. O.K., I 've got a clue/saturday, thx

[Guilded Lilly]

6. It will be very well covered where millions of people go for their news...The Internet.

Having cut the cable this year, news is still readily available everywhere. On my phone, my laptop, my tablet. Online newspapers, social media, eye witness blogs...won't ignore it. My computer access is my lifeline to the news. And it will be unavoidable if one lives or works in Washington.

There are always some people who won't care about the March. They wouldn't care if it was shown non-stop on every mainstream and cable news shows. Mainstream media has taken a lot of deserved hits lately. Fewer people are relying or trusting them, and tuning out. Not so on the Internet.

MARCH ON!!
RESIST.
Wear pink pussy hats!!! YEAH!

7. Exactly the same as the massive anti Iraq invasion protests

You nailed it.

Well, unless a bunch of ratfuckers cause problems.

8. The only decent coverage back then was on C-Span - It was non stop

The networks ignored it almost altogether as you point out. It was a sin. And now we find ourselves here guessing that it will be the same. I'd love to be pleasantly surprised but have to agree with you, Ed.

[bettyellen]

9. Well since it's also hundreds of local marches as well as in thirty countries

I'm hoping it will get some decent coverage - as well as be very well reposed on Twitter.

15. I posted this yesterday.

Never made it to the front page.



Women’s March Global (WMG) — the international arm of the Women’s March on Washington (WMW) — has launched its mission statement as total participation across the world looks set to hit the one million mark.


Three hundred national and international sister marches will join forces with the Women’s March on Washington (WMW) DC rally on Jan 21 — the day after the U.S. Presidential Inauguration — spanning nearly 60 cities in 30 countries across six continents. As march day approaches, the WMG has set out four clear aims.

In a press statement, it announced the movement’s worldwide vision and values in a unifying framework called H.E.R.S., which spells out the women’s rights priorities of: Health, Economic Security, Representation, and Safety:

Hi bettyellen. I will be in Boston.

[Freethinker65]

10. Not much from the news...

But that is really part of the reason I plan on attending in Chicago. I went to the big Cubs rally in Grant Park, and I am really not a baseball fan (except for this past year). It was a sight to see and got plenty of coverage. This March means so much more to me and I need to be there to know I am not alone regardless of how the media portrays it. I hope not to be disappointed in the turnout.

11. Hard to say.

A lot depends on the number of people involved in D.C. and elsewhere.

[intheflow]

12. It's my hope that it will get decent coverage by at least CNN and WaPo.

They, with the NYT, are the news outlets most targeted by Trump and offering the most resistance. (Though I have no illusions they are part of The Resistance.)

[HoneyBadger]

13. Chirlane, Di Blasio's wife, is marching in NYC

That will get covered

[edhopper]

14. 15 seconds on local news

without really saying what it's about.

[femmocrat]

16. It will probably be on C-span.

They showed Al Sharpton's civil rights march in DC today.

[womanofthehills]

17. It will be covered big time on the net and Facebook

I plan on making a movie of the Santa Fe march and I know tons of photos will be on the net.

[meadowlander]

18. 30 seconds

They'll say "thousands" of protestors when it's obviously hundreds of thousands and cut to a picture of someone with a Palestinian flag or a Free Mumia sign.

There should be a press coverage of liberal protests bingo game by now.

Center square is interview with the pregnant woman stuck in traffic on her way to the hospital.

[edhopper]

23. you said it all /nt

[nolabear]

19. It'll get major coverage on cable and online.

We'll see about the networks. It's too big a story not to cover it.

[yuiyoshida]

20. Zero Coverage. The last thing

That Main Stream media wants to do is bring attention to those people who are unsatisfied with the Election. Maybe some newspaper or magazine will cover it, but Main Stream TV Networks ? No...

[NastyRiffraff]

21. It's getting attention here in the DC area

Much of the reports are related to security coverage, but it's still good to see it covered.

[Warren DeMontague]

24. None. I was at the March for Womens Lives in DC in 2004, with 1.2 Million people.

The media spent all day talking about Estee Lauder's death and then the cable networks did a big thing with cruising NASCAR races to look for drunk Bush voters.

They barely, grudgingly mentioned it, and it was the largest gathering on the mall of all time.

25. Will be live streamed

[edhopper]

26. so people already interested will look in

Do you think anybody whose minds have to awakened or changed will look for and watch a live stream?

[Eliot Rosewater]

27. The networks realize their access to WH might require they not cover it at all.
