Protestors目标`日报明确’办公室

由 萨拉Lagan

新闻工作者，反战争活动家和宗教团体今天举行了一种抗议在每日明确办公室之外反对一系列的故事，并且标题在他们说的本文鼓励“种族主义者把一律看作和蔑视”。

大约四十位抗议者和新闻工作者转动了由Media组织的活动决定Workers反对战争和中止战争联合。 他们挥动横幅认为“中止对穆斯林的媒介攻击”，当歌颂口号例如“日报表达时，每日恶习”。

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.
