Do the semi-naked pictures of Britney spears or Paris Hilton belong to the daily newspaper
Do the featured articles like \"How to be good in bed\", \"How to make your man happy\" belong to the newspaper
We are not talking about Moral Policing here. All we are saying is these articles do not belong to the regular daily newspaper.
The newspaper should be readable by the whole family without we having to do censorship at home.
There are other magazines / tabloids which can continue to publish and people can choose to buy them or not to.
The freedom of speech for the newspapers should come with some responsibility.
The amount of trash published in the daily newspaper is having a negative impact on our children.
The feedback received underscores a shared concern regarding the appropriateness of editorial choices in our local publications. Maintaining a environment that respects family boundaries requires that we continue to question the current standards of content delivery. Further efforts are underway to communicate these concerns directly to the editorial board.

Completely agree. My 10 year old asked me why that woman was on the front page and I had no good answer. The paper should be for news not this garbage.
