A reader is shocked

Jul 20, 2011 Letters

Dear editor,
I am a daily reader of your newspaper and I am also a Guyanese. I am disgusted with your paper and the way it reports the news. The first thing you need to learn is to have some compassion for the victims you are reporting on.
Second, you need to develop some class and tact when choosing what pictures to feature in your paper. I am in the process of eating my lunch and I logged on to read the news and what do I see?? Four dead bodies plastered all over the front page.
Good God! Can’t you people have some respect for the dead and for their families? How would you like to see your family scattered on the ground bleeding from their wounds? It is bad enough to read the story and see all the bad grammar. Please I beg of you change that front page. Put the pictures you have in the body of the story on the cover page and take out the disgusting pictures on the front.
I am so ashamed of this paper. Don’t you see other newspapers cover the dead bodies before they show a picture? I swear you all need to be sued for this. Its things like this make people bad talk Guyana newspapers.
I showed my American co-workers and they were all disgusted with the cover page. This Guyanese is ASHAMED of you guys.
A Disgusted Reader

Editor’s note: I would by no stretch or imagination excuse what passes for grammar int his paper. The quality of people we have left allows for mediocrity. Suffice it to say that your grammar was far from acceptable but I edited your letter.
Had you looked carefully you would have seen that the photographs are of the injured on the roadway, photographs the media in your adopted country often publish.
You would do well to look at what passes on television where you live and recognize that newspapers are forced to keep pace with the electronic media.
