Former newspaper editor demands scrutiny of media coverage surrounding Nicola Bulley case
The press regulator must "demonstrate it really has teeth" and examine how Nicola Bulley's disappearance was reported, a former editor has said.
"As a former newspaper editor I'd always hope that my reporters respected the people they're dealing with and in any situation like the Nicola Bulley case if the family said 'lay off' they would have absolutely run a mile.""It's become the most extraordinary feeding frenzy.
He said the lack of a public response from ITV or Sky News suggested they were "uncomfortable with the position they are in". Members of the public even visited St Michael's on Wyre to conduct their own searches, some of which were posted on social media sites including TikTok. "They again have taken it upon themselves to run stories about us to sell papers and increase their own profiles."Do the press and other media channels and so called professionals not know when to stop? These are our lives and our children's lives."However, it is understood ITV News had believed Ms Bulley's family were willing to engage with the media, but withdrew when a family member declined to speak to them and have not made contact since.
