Daily Telegraph “censoring” the NSW Police

It is often quite hilarious to see how tabloid media handle stories in order to gain the audience.

The NSW Police put out a media release yesterday that brought The Daily Telegraph to the ground with a story they published saying that the NSW Police is censoring crime information and pictures in order to make the public feel safer.

I loved this response from the NSW Police:

Unfortunately, not one word of a very detailed response provided to the Daily Telegraph last week on this issue was used in this morning’s article. Censorship in reverse, it could be argued.

Take that!

Each and every day, The Daily Telegraph, or at least one of the news.com.au subsets, gives new meaning, and further proof, the the phrase “never let the truth get in the way of a good story.”

    There is things taht they don’t give to the media though. Like suicide attempts on train lines. for some reason media arnt allowed to report on these.
