It is interesting that the highest number of complaints related to truth and accuracy, which is understandable. Protection of sources is another heading and then there is one which I am very interested in, namely the reporting of suicide. We do not really see the word "suicide" too often in print media any more. The phrase is "died by suicide" but they do not use it. Are the complaints because the papers printed the method or what are the kinds of complaints? I am thinking of how things were reported 20 years ago and now. Everything has to be

based on fact but sometimes people do not really like the fact. How would Ms McKay respond to someone who complains that someone should not have reported something or said it was X, Y or Z method? How would the office deal with those complaints?
