Rape victim

IN Media Practice | 28/06/2011
What are the folks who run NewsX thinking when they flash the image of a 13-year-old rape victim at least ten times in the course of a news item? (June 27) Yes her face is covered with a cloth except for her eyes but is that good enough? Just those eyes would make her recognisable. First they pixelate the mother’s face in the story, then they drop the pixelating and show her face.   Amazing. What are the regulators doing?
