Petition Make it illegal to run politically-biased opinions on newspaper front-covers.

Newspaper editors often use front-covers as opinion pieces to influence public opinion. For example, in the countdown to the EU referendum, many ran headlines encouraging the public to vote one way or another. We call on an end to this practice. Front-covers should report the news, not opinion.
