Keep out ‘gossip’

Dear sir:
It is no business of mine if Joe Blow is charged, sentenced, fined, or jailed for this or that offence. I’m sure the police and the courts are very busy and they would like everyone to know it, but that does not mean you “have to” print their reports.
Why not let those people who just have to be informed of these matters attend the courts, or write in for this information. This way, we could keep this gossip out of the papers.
Thank you,
