As co-chair of the SEJ conference, I can tell you that many, many reporters were well aware of the rally whether or not they came over to the police line. I must say that as journalists they were more likely applauding the hutzpah of the people for properly utilizing the conference to Jeff Burnsidehttp://www.nbcmiami.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8297158919917999185.post-88533240957712151702011-10-24T09:48:46.478-04:002011-10-24T09:48:46.478-04:00Thank you Bruce!

As one of the Primary organizers of this rally, I'd like to thank 'the many' journalists that crossed the line and the news crew's that came out to support.

As another person who both spoke in the conference and participated in the rally, I want to concur with Ana -- many of the journalists came across the street to talk with those at the rally (it wasn't really a "protest" but more of a rally motivated by the desire to connect with journalists and present local issues).
