Insensitive reporting by NCN

Dear Editor,

NCN in Sunday’s newscast was most insensitive in revealing the sexual health status of one of the alleged rapists in the Linden hospital matter. Isn’t there a media code for reporting rape matters? And why then do we stress confidentiality so much with regard to getting tested or determining status?

Yours faithfully,
