To: The New York Post and Col Allan, Editor in Cheif
Boycott the New York Post
The cover photo of the Ki Suk Han subway tragedy showed a lack of both good judgment and journalistic integrity. I pledge to boycott the NY Post from December 10th-14th unless all proceeds from that day's newspaper sales are donated to the family of Mr. Ki Suk Han.
Why is this important?
This morning the New York Post ran a cover photo of Queens father Ki Suk Han that was both shocking and sad. The photo showed Mr. Han standing on the subway tracks seconds before he was killed by an oncoming train. The photo ran under the horrifying headline "This Man is About to Die." Not only was this image disturbing and frightening, but it showed an extreme lack of respect for Mr. Han's family and loved ones. Should Mr. Han's children have to see this image plastered on newsstands and across the internet? While the NY Post and its editor, Col Allan, have a history of tasteless cover images, this image is so inappropriate as to require action.
Please join me in letting The Post know your disgust at this type of shock journalism. Pledge to boycott next week’s issues of the NY Post, unless all proceeds of today's newspaper are donated to the family of Mr. Han. The New York Post making money off such a tragedy is appalling and inexcusable, and we need to let them know.
