A copy of my letter to the Editor of the Yorkshire Evening Post

Sir,
Speaking as someone who’s had to deal with the ongoing saga of my Grandma’s murder, I found the story that made your front page lately very disturbing and upsetting. I fail to see how reporting on the sale of a house related to a story from 2.5 years ago is in the public interest. Slow news day, perhaps?
Speaking as a Director for the Guardian award-winning student newspaper Nouse, I find your lack of ethical or journalistic integrity disturbing and sincerely hope to never have to work alongside journalists like yourselves, instead preferring to work with professionals (my colleagues in student media have shown more journalistic integrity than was displayed in that article).
Finally, Molly Wright was a wonderful woman, and a wonderful grandmother. I implore you to please leave her and her memory well alone and let our family move on from her tragic death.
Regards,
Chris Northwood.
