The letter to the Editor

To the Editor:
Sensationalist reporting is harmful to all people involved and has no place in our society.
Before July 27, my son and I were living an ordinary life. Until your news paper named him a suspect. His life has became upside down.
He was a security guard at the centennial Olympic Park. He hasn't done any thing wrong, but discovering the bomb and helping to clear people from the area.
My son is not a murderer. He does not deserve what happened to him . You have taken his privacy away. Even he was declared innocent. He will never have a normal life again.
We are not the only victims of this false sensationalist, there are many more. Like Lady Diana who lost her life because of privacy invasion.
As result of the media's tolerance for irresponsible reporting, my family and I are a few more victims of sensationalism at its worst. On behalf of all victims of sensationalism, we demand a formal apology.
Barbara Jewell
