Editor Gordon Mills met with activists Bruce Boyle and Lisa Murray who handed a 42 page coverage report and a list of demands calling for broader non American reporting and less biased terminology. Mills promised careful review and a written response soon. The group had said they would mail advance notices to news services and papers ahead of the protest. The protest was described as well behaved and respectful by Mills.
