I am writing you today to relay my disgust and disappointment in a recent article you had in your paper.

It was about a woman who found her husband dead on his bedroom floor. I’m quite sure from the language it was copied word for word from a police report.

I understand you have a right for public disclosure with police reports and you were simply telling the news, but did you ever stop to think about the type of information you were giving out to the public?

I’m specifically referring to the fact you put the woman’s address in your article. So you told every criminal out there that a woman in her late 60s is now living alone in her house.

Did you ever once stop to think about the irresponsible journalism in this? I implore you in the future to use more caution when posting individual’s status and address together. Oh, and by the way, the woman would be my mom! Thank you Federal Way Mirror for making it very clear you are not a trustworthy news source if you are going to treat people with such disrespect.
