I've not seen so much attention given to a story like this before, and there have been others.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027942517258679266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834395892091327520.post-49115306462130229642013-03-23T10:00:29.406+00:002013-03-23T10:00:29.406+00:00No doubt you will have heard by now about the fate...No doubt you will have heard by now about the fate of Lucy Meadows who sadly it appears took her own life presumably because of the pressure she had been put under by the media. No doubt the papers will treat that as just another sensational story! It all sickens me.<br /><br />Shirley Anne xShirley Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11697497719791327675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834395892091327520.post-29421493098049002362013-03-22T19:19:14.231+00:002013-03-22T19:19:14.231+00:00I got the same email from them and couldn't be...I got the same email from them and couldn't believe that none of the reasons that people complained were upheld. <br />Sadly I think it will take something tragic to happen and for the person responsible for the act to turn around and say "oh yes, I did it because I read a piece by A N Other in newspaper xyz" before anything will really be done.<br />Hopefully though it wont come to that and this will indeed be a turning point in the coverage of tran* in the media.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08410714441581467404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834395892091327520.post-34094640145777675322013-03-21T09:57:00.472+00:002013-03-21T09:57:00.472+00:00Not sure that this is quite right.
Julie Burchill ...Not sure that this is quite right.<br />Julie Burchill was really in the last chance saloon with the Observer - she's been pretty much shunned by other nationals after other problematic episodes.<br />And there were also the stories that her first draft was more anodyne and it was at the specific request from the Observer to 'spice it up' that some of the nastier material went in.<br />Totally agree with your conclusions though : it really could be a meaningful watershed in trans media coverage.Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08776623935042983118noreply@blogger.com
