Since the crash of XV230 I have met and spoken to a large number of journalists, they have all shown compassion and understanding.
I have only once had cause to complain to a newspaper about an article which had inaccurate information in about my son. This information was not given by a family member so I put in a complaint. The editor wrote an apology to me and said they would run any other articles by me first.
"No one loves the messenger who brings bad news." (Sophocles) and I get the feeling those complaining just don't like bad news being written about.
