Protestors Ziel `Tageszeitung ausdrückliche' Büros

Durch Sarah Lagan

Journalisten, Anti- Kriegaktivisten und fromme Gruppen hielten einen Protest außerhalb der täglich ausdrücklichen Büros heute gegen eine Reihe Geschichten und Schlagzeilen im Papier, das sie sagen, regen „Rassiststereotyping und -verachtung“ an.

Herum vierzig Protesters und Journalisten drehten sich bis zum Fall, der von Media Workers gegen Krieg und den Anschlag die Krieg-Koalition organisiert wurde. Sie bewogen Fahnen „Endmittelangriffe auf Moslems“ sagend, beim Singen Slogans wie „Tageszeitung ausdrücken, täglicher Mißbrauch“ wellenartig.

MWAW sent a letter to Northern and Shell proprietor Richard Desmond and Daily Express editor Peter Hill outlining examples of what they believe are inflammatory headlines published in the Express such as: “Over 860 migrants flood in every day”, “Muslim laws must come to Britain” and “Migrants send our crime rate soaring”.

It appealed to the company to stop “pedalling lies” and to allow journalists to refuse to write stories they believe break the Editors’’ Code of Practice.

The letter said the headlines “do nothing to inform Express readers – on the contrary they encourage racist stereotyping and contempt.”

It states: “Your ‘facts’ are highly selective, you make little attempt to give context or comparisons and you publish no opposing views.”

Chair of MWAW and FT journalist David Crouch said: “We’ve decided to protest here at the Express because since mid-January they have run a series of what we believe are inflammatory front page splashes targeting Muslims and immigrants more generally. So we decided to start with the Express but the interest that has been shown in this protest will encourage us to take the protest elsewhere.”

The Daily Express declined to comment.
