Closed petition Require newspapers to contact every person named in stories they publish

Closed on

Years ago a newspaper wrote a story which made allegations against me, but I am not a newspaper reader and I was totally oblivious to what was happening.

When the newspaper was writing about me they never once came to me for a response. In those years I was quite often abused violently and verbally, because of this. I fell ill with dystonia, which I still suffer with to this day. If the newspaper had made me aware, either by a face-to-face conversation or by leaving a calling card, I would not have suffered as I did.
