I am doing a paper on the history of journalis...Hi,<br />I am doing a paper on the history of journalism.<br />My first child was born in March 3 1986. The thing is she has Spina Bifida. The story u have wrote about had just hit the news at that time.<br />I remember reading about it except never once was it said what the babies problem was, just that it was 'deformed' but I remember reading articles where it's condition was described as 'grossly deformed'. Nurses in Dunedin thought I knew all about it while we were in the Special Care Baby Unit because we were also from Invercargill, (even had the same pregnancy doctor but the doc never realized my baby had a problem) so they, the nurses, kept asking me questions about the aborted baby with Spina Bifida. This was the only reason I knew what was wrong with it.<br />Our daughter came home finally after 5 weeks, back to Invercargill and articles about the case kept being printed about a 'grossly deformed' baby until I wrote to the editor and said it was very inaccurate reporting. The baby had Spina Bifida like my daughter and my daughter is certainly not 'grossly deformed'!<br />Now, I am doing this course and writing an essay about what has changed in printed journalism in regards to fact and fiction so I have spent all afternoon trying to find the newspaper articles.<br />Do u have any dates of articles about this story, I have found some but they are not the right ones.<br />If u have any articles or dates of articles would it be possible to tell me??? <br />Any help would be really appreciated!<br />Thanx<br />Gayle :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680496669443988483noreply@blogger.com
