Another great example yesterday - daily mail notably not featuring the “hero” story of the non white train guard from LNER on its cover. Wonder if a white guy had been the hero of the hour if he would have been featured…I think so
Does anyone have an answer for @cased.bsky.social’s question re the story below?
“who monitors bias in coverage / produces data on this? Seems increasingly important to have this data available and seen.”
“who monitors bias in coverage / produces data on this? Seems increasingly important to have this data available and seen.”
The racially motivated rape of a young woman is barely getting any coverage www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... - big contrast to the wall to wall hostel assault coverage.

Nice work if you can get it (due dil £20mil)
Thames Water paid £20m to cover the due diligence costs of KKR for abortive attempt to buy TW.
Rich pickings for advisers. Customers pick up the tab for management follies. Details never provided.
TW has £20bn debt, survives by dumping sewage in rivers, fleecing captive customers.
