I covered a protest near Middletown Friday morning where residents were protesting a new power plant being constructed (you can see all the photos here). One of the protesters was actor James Cromwell. The photos were picked up by the Associated Press and as a result the photos were seen around the world in hundreds of newspapers including Washington Post, Fox News, Seattle Times, Seattle PI, Las Vegas Sun, Miami Herald, US News and World Report, Houston Chronicle, San Francisco Chronicle, Newsday, San Antonio Times, Kansas City Star, Washington Times, Arizona Daily Star and internationally at the Independent in Ireland, Belfast Telegraph, Evening Standard in London, The Australian and the Himilayan Times in Nepal.
UPDATE: The Daily Mail in London picked up the photos and the video as well as the NY Daily News, Toronto Sun, the CBC in Canada and Entertainment Weekly.
Here is the cover of the Times Herald-Record with my photo and you can watch the video below.
