LETTER TO THE EDITOR

To the Editor:

Sensationalist reporting is harmful to all people involved and has no place in our society.

I want to tell you I am very angry that my son was named as a suspect in the Olympic bombing. How do you know that , you have to know all the facts about the bombing before you write my sons name as a suspect in the newspaper.

My life is changed now , you have taken all privacy from us ,you have taken all peace ,you have watch and photograph every thing we do , we cannot walk our dogs without being fllowed down the sidewalk.Like ROSA LOPEZ how her life changed suddenly , she was the focus of intense scrutiny. Lopez was hounded by cameras and reporters everywhere she went.

As a result of the medias tolerance for irresponsible reporting , my family and I are a few more victims of sensationalism at its worst . On behalf of victims of sensationalism, we demand a formal apology. Barbara Jewell
