TAGS IN THE PRESS
Sir~In .the session Town Forum (1YA, June 10) New Zealanders in London answered questions about New Zealand. One member of the panel, discussing the Maori-Pakeha relationship, mentioned that the Press was at fault in its headlining-"Maori found guilty of" such and such an offence. I endorse his opinion, but would point out that in this the Press is not making an exception of the Maori: it loves a tag. How often do we read "Pensioner found dead," "Elderly spinster. injured in car accident," and so on. These tags are in bad taste borderine on the offensive.
