Advice please: Can I just make a sandwich board sign and picket a media
outlet (newspaper &/or broadcast) without getting a permit? I would be doing so on a publicly owned sidewalk.

1. 1st Amendment
Local ordinances vary, but as long as you are not blocking sidewalk traffic or being violent or anything like that, you should be fine.

2. Make sure you keep moving, or they might cite you for loitering.
It's a favorite way to stifle protests.

3. I have been wondering why....


....no one has tried to hold up protest signs (for whatever issue) in those big street level windows they show behind the talking heads.
