Letter to the Editor

Senstionalist reporting is harmful to all people involved and has no place in our society
I am writing to you today to inform you about my son’s delema. My son was a hard working security guard who has a good reputation, until July 27 bombing, when one of the reporter made him a suspect in the eye of the public and the media bombarded our privacy. He was only doing his job while he was rescuing inocent poeple after the bomb went off. From that day my son’s life became a nightmare. My son is not a criminal and should not be labeled as one because he was a hero who saved lives. The media should not be judgemental and condem him before knowing the truth. The Judge found my son inocent, however, the public still sees him as murderer. My son deserves to be regonised as a hero and has the right of privacy as any other citizen. In addition, I would like you to be aware of the damage that the media is doing to other innocents such as Princess Diana who lost her life because of the media.
