Don't attack family
Letter to the Editor
by Stewart Rose, Opawa

Your attack on Peter Stewart's family members was an all-time low in journalism (Dec 20).

Stewart's family aren't responsible for his crime, so why the venomous attack on his family? Is this because they have been successful financially and socially or are well known and have contributed to the community in many ways?

I cannot remember such an attack in The Press on any family associated with someone who has been found guilty of a crime, so why the Stewarts?

It is not the Kiwi way to foster such journalism (gutter press).
