(CNN) Seventy people were arrested outside of The New York Times building in Manhattan on Saturday, according to a New York Police Department spokesman, during a protest to call attention to the way news outlets cover the climate crisis. Charges against the protesters are pending, an NYPD spokesman told CNN. New York Police officers take into custody activists who climbed on the awning of the New York Times building to hang signs during a climate change rally, Saturday, June 22, 2019, in New York. Eve Mosher, a spokeswoman for the group, told CNN that Saturday's protest was meant to call attention to how news outlets cover climate change. "The New York Times can take the lead reporting on the climate emergency," Mosher told CNN, saying the newspaper does "good reporting" but it's "not treating it in the manner they should be."
