Inappropriate headlines

I realise the newspapers have to report the news and sometimes that news is unpleasant. But I also think they have a responsibility to young readers. I had to spend a lot of time the other day explaining the front page of the Telegraph to my daughter who likes to read the paper.


Who else thinks that it was an inappropriate subject for the front page?

Edit by andrewb: The headline in question was "'Upmarket' Blackburn bar stages 'Ibiza porn party'"

i know what you mean Gayle, Reece likes to read the paper, we only get the Observer though, fortunately we dont get the telegraph

maybe this could have been a centre spread so you could have just taken it out
 
As there are children on this family site is it not the same thing Gayle ?
 
I take your point Mick - and feel free to remove the link - but my point was that it was front page on a local newspaper that drops through the letter box every day.
 
Well, the party, actually, although I see the story's vanished, too...which is a pity as I wanted to check if it was last Saturday or this Saturday coming. ;)
 
I haven't a clue what Gayle is referring to, so I can't really comment..... no link, don't buy the paper????:confused:
 
I don't live locally so I don't see this newspaper. What is the point of keeping the thread going if the link is deleted?
 
i think the head line was " santa isnt real " which i think would be wrong for small children to see

ps:

he is real teh papers tell lies
 
Well, whatever it was about, it is still a topic of conversation as to inappropriate headlines in newspapers.

Children see all types of nasty headlines don't they in the form of destruction and crime linked to horrific pictures, so I suppose can't hide whatever from them altogether.

Still, presume whatever it was Gayle, may have sold the paper to the people with the cash .. the adults ?
 
never saw it, so no idea what it was, all papers have a high percentage of garbage in em anyway, i'd be more worried if children were brought up to believe what they print without question.

Ridiculous censorship here... either post the link or close the topic.

I think it was censored because it concerned an adult topic(even though it was on the front page of the Lancashire Telegraph) and this is a family forum. Hence the removal of the link.
But if you wanted to go back and look at the Lancashire Telegraph for Thursday or Friday last week then it would become evident what the post is about.
I hope this helps.
