Anwar trial - Star "improves" positioning to pg 24!

Hmm, The Star appears to have "heeded" our complaint that the Anwar trial reports were being marginalised in the mainstream media. Obviously taking into consideration our observation, it has "improved" the positioning of the Anwar trial reports from page 29 on 12 May to page 24 today!

Come on, Star, surely you can do better than that. Why are you so bent on marginalising or ignoring the Anwar trial? Is this a deliberate policy?

In yesterday's Star (13 May), for instance, there was not a single report on the Anwar trial. In contrast, the Norrita murder trial was prominently covered on page 4 while a large report on the Canny Ong murder trial appeared on page 6. Care to explain, Star? Are you only interested in sensational murder trials to sell your paper?
