Liz Jones on Jo Yeates
Good afternoon,
I wondered if anyone had seen this: http://www.dailymail....l-police-website.html ?
Liz Jones decides to "retrace the footsteps" of Jo Yeates.
she provides us with a tasteless gem like: "I wish she had spent what were probably her last hours on earth somewhere lovelier. The food is awful."
Does this kind of "journalism" have any place in any newspaper? Or do you think there is value in it? If you were Paul Dacre would you continue to pay Liz for such tripe?
All the best,
Spare Ed

This is crass and insulting to her memory. Phrases such as
'leaving with carrier bags and expectation'
& 'I almost buy that upmarket pizza; the choice tells me Jo wanted a lovely life, something above the ordinary' would be fine in a peice of airport chic lit but not as some sort of twisted epitaph to someone she didn't know.

It's fairly simple, really... She writes what she writes, and her editor allows it to be printed, because that's what the Daily Mail readership wants to read. They buy their paper every morning knowing full well what they're going to get, the same way as anyone who buys a copy of The Sun and turns to page 3 knows what will be found there.
If you think that Liz Jones articles and/or topless women don't constitute news, then you're reading the wrong (news)paper...
