PCC starts new year with a bang

The PCC got off to a busy start in 2009, launching an investigation into its own complaint about several newspapers and websites covering the case of a man committing suicide with a chain saw. The Newspapers includ the Metro, The Guardian, Daily Star, Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph, The Sun, Daily Mirror and the Independent and their websites. The Metro (but not its website) and the Guardian did not have complaints upheld against them, but all the others, both print and websites, did have complaints upheld for giving too much detail about the suicide method and how the man had managed to kill himself.
The suicide clause is a new one for the PCC (see below) and one they are determined to uphold.
