From the BBC:
“Stephen Gately’s civil partner Andrew Cowles has formally complained to the Press Complaints Commission (PCC) over a Daily Mail article about his death.
Mr Cowles claims Jan Moir’s column, published in October, breached guidelines on accuracy, intrusion into grief or shock, and discrimination.
A PCC investigation will also consider the 25,000 complaints about the piece.”
As Mark pointed out in October the Press Complaints Commission’s remit states:
“We normally accept complaints only from those who are directly affected by the matters about which they are complaining.”
Although 25,000 of us complained about the article, with many stating that these were not “normal” circumstances, Andrew Cowles’ complaint has led to the PCC launching a full investigation because he is a “connected party.”
