Complaints and Campaign
It's not uncommon to get complaints about stories which appear in the Gazette - and sometimes they are justified and things are put right.
However, a complaint I recieved this week about publishing the picture of someone who had just been jailed for a particularly violent crime did not need any defending.
We are perfectly within our legal rights to print the picture and if 'criminals' don't want to see their face on the news pages then they should not carry out violent crimes in the first place. Enough said.
On another note I have already mentioned several times before the story of colleague Adrian Sudbury from Huddersfield who is dying of leukaemia and his Government campaign to ensure 17 and 18-year-olds are educated about bone marrow, blood and organ donation.
So far around 7,000 people have signed up to the campaign but if you have not already done so then please support Adrian's petition. The aim is to have 10,000 signatures by the time it is officially handed to Downing Street on July 23.
Join Gary Linekar, Natasha Kaplinsky and Jeffrey Archer and thousands of others in supporting his campaign and sign up today at:
