Los periodistas, contra activistas de la guerra y grupos religiosos llevaron a cabo una protesta fuera de las oficinas diariamente expresas hoy contra una serie de historias y los títulos en el papel que dicen animan la “estereotipia y desprecio del racista”.
Alrededor cuarenta manifestantes y periodistas dieron vuelta hasta el acontecimiento organizado por Media Workers contra guerra y la parada la coalición de la guerra. Agitaron banderas que decían “ataques de los medios de la parada contra musulmanes” mientras que cantan los lemas tales como “diario expresan, abuso diario”.
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.
