Protestors目標`日報明確』辦公室

由 薩拉Lagan

新聞工作者，反戰爭活動家和宗教團體今天舉行了一種抗議在每日明確辦公室之外反對一系列的故事，并且標題在他們說的本文鼓勵「種族主義者把一律看作和蔑視」。

大約四十位抗議者和新聞工作者轉動了由Media組織的活動決定Workers反對戰爭和中止戰爭聯合。 他們揮動橫幅認為「中止對穆斯林的媒介攻擊」，當歌頌口號例如「日報表達時，每日惡習」。

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.
