..they say time heals - but never with the 'star'
Your spot on Ade, like Cargo, I happen to work with the newspaper industry and remember all my mates in work trying to hide that edition from me.
I kept [don't know why?] an article which appeared some day's later in a different paper...here goes

'There was little sympathy out there for The Star following the decision to publish a photograph of Joey Dunlop's body on the front page four days after he was killed in Estonia.
However, a tiny, almost imperceptible fragment of sympathy almost manifested itself when the paper's editor Gerry Colleran went on 'Liveline' (Irish National radio) with Terry Garvey on Friday.
Having told her listeners that he wasn't available because he was eating a sandwich, a detail which didn't really add anything to the discussion, Terry introduced Colleran and began to quiz him on his decision to publish the picture.
She then asked him to hold on - and ambushed him with John Kierans, Editor of the Irish Mirror.'

The article went on to report about the head to head and that the Mirror probably won on points!

funny enough, I never bought that paper since that day
