Disgrace to the Paper!
Submitted October 4th, 2000 by Editor
To the Compass Staff.
I would like to complain about the Page 5 of your publication. This sort of thing is a crass attempt to pander your newspapers to people who wouldn’t normally purchase them.
I’m all for capitalism, but seriously, using these poor girls to sell your papers? Shameful.
The Page 5 publications are a longstanding tradition of the London Compass and will not be discontinued. Many of Britain’s actresses, singers and models have launched their careers through the Page 5 photographs. We’re proud to continue to run Page 5, and have a long list of unsolicited applications to sort through every week.
