Les journalistes, anti activistes de guerre et groupes religieux ont tenu une protestation en dehors des bureaux quotidiennement exprès aujourd'hui contre une série d'histoires et les titres dans le papier qu'ils disent encouragent le « stéréotype et mépris de raciste ».
Autour quarante protestataires et journalistes ont tourné jusqu'à l'événement organisé par Media Workers contre la guerre et l'arrêt la coalition de guerre. Ils ont ondulé des bannières indiquant « des attaques de médias d'arrêt sur des musulmans » tout en chantant les slogans tels que le « journal expriment, abus quotidien ».
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.
