I was disappointed to see News Limited run a post it note ad stuck over the story on the front page of the Herald Sun yesterday. This is a story close to the hearts of Victorians and to have it treated this was is disrespectful.
On many copies I saw, the headline – JUSTICE FOR JILL – was partially obscured. So much for reporting justice.
I was also disappointed to see them advertising a home delivery / digital access offer. Why would I want a product in my shop damaged in this way with an ad promoting to my customers that they source their newspaper elsewhere?
I suspect many retail newsagents removed the sticker.
