Today on Page 3 of the Mail On Sunday, they published a picture of Bono's 15 year old daughter taken at the Al Gore love in in Dublin yesterday..
I was under the impression that there was an unwritten rule in journalism that you do not publish images of children under 18 for security reasons..
Is that not the case?
That's a pretty silly thing to do if they didn't get permission from her parents to do so. They may well have done though. All the same she's a nice girl, one of my mate's brothers is in her year in school
Unless it's a British tabloid. Then there are no rules.
'It would actually give me the greatest of pleasure watching non-compliant taxpayers going to jail. That's the kind of person I am.' Bertie Ahern, 1993.
If it is an unwritten rule, it is a new one to me. Look at all the pop stars who were big before they turned 18 and regularly photographed.
"John Bull has got his hand down your pants and his fist around your bollox and you can't see it."
same as footballers. I think perhaps the unwritten rule refers not to the stars themselves but to their family members.Originally Posted by DOD
We need to radically change every system that has enabled the wholesale destruction of the Irish landscape, rural and urban. There is no time for incremental step by step measures. The systems have failed utterly and the only hope for a real recovery requires the rule book to be torn up completely.
yes that is what i mean alonso..
i seriously doubt they got permission..
You never know, I was in the Sindo once, the shame I know, at a book launch. I was there as a guest of the friend's parent who edited the book. The guy asked her mum if they could take a photo of us. Granted technically there wasn't permission for me as my parents weren't there. You'd need to give some more context of the photograph, eg it was on the street where permission would most likely not be sought, or if it was inside somewhere at a reception where Ali Hewson could well have been just outside camerashot.i seriously doubt they got permission..
on the street with her sister..... fuzzy shot obviously from a long lens..
Well it might have been helpful if you had cited that originally. Saying that it was taken at the Al Gore event gave the implication that it was taken in a proper context. The context of a photograph is almost as important as the content. That sounds as if it should not have been printed.
