Demonstrators blocked the entrance of Newsprinters in Knowsley with a blue box van and a yellow boat on a trailer on September 4, 2020.
Their actions prevented the distribution of over half a million copies of papers including The Times, The S n, The Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail.
The protest was mirrored in Glasgow and London over concerns about coverage of environmental issues and the manipulation of the truth by corporations owned by billionaire Rupert Murdoch.
Protesters from Extinction Rebellion have been cleared of trespassing at a printing press last year when the group prevented the distribution of half a million newspapers.

Officers were called on Saturday over a man acting suspiciously in Spring Gardens, Lewes. When they searched the area they found a man in Lancaster Street who had electric equipment and keys. This led police to Friars Walk, where two homes were burgled and other homes were also targeted. There were signs of someone attempting to force entry. Now, Sussex Police said an arrest was made, and a man was charged with nine offences. John Paul Healey, 39, is accused of two burglaries and theft, seven attempted burglaries with intent to steal, and one count of assault by beating of an emergency worker.
