Who says people wouldn't read it? If they interviewed people on the ground, I would absolutely read that. Also, if they had the dates listed and people counts of last ones, I would read that too to see how it's comparing and if it's getting more tailwind. People are always saying they haven't heard about the protests until they finally do. I'm sure there are tons that haven't heard about them because NPR isn't even covering them.

Why would you stick up for less coverage? That makes no sense in this community.
