Irresponsible journalism
I was horrified at the YOU magazine's flagrant disregard for the sub judice law in the Leigh Matthew's case.
Any responsible Editor knows that commentary on court cases while they are still proceeding, can be highly prejudicial to the State’s case, as well as the defendant – who, no matter public sentiment is in this regard, is entitled to a fair trial.
Is this just a continuation of the gungho journalism sanctioned by our media owners these days, who seem to forget they have accountability; or just the sloppy, sensationalist journalism we’ve come to expect from the gutter press in South Africa?
Either way, they give all media a bad name.
