Yesterday (1st June 2021) I covered the Extinction Rebellion action at BP Oil’s Hamble Terminal. I worked at the main gate and a colleague was at the side gate. Pictures were edited on-site (in the car) and uploaded to a file store. The pictures were then promoted to the media by the Media and Messaging team.

In terms of media coverage, this was one of the most successful actions I have been involved with. Local BBC and ITN reporters attended and presented video reports. Articles appeared in media in many countries. My work appeared in the following reports (not always attributed correctly!)
