(Letter to the Editor of The Toronto Sun)

Dear Editor:

I am writing to convey our incredible disappointment after seeing the front page of today’s Toronto Sun with the picture of our Letter Carrier.

We received the photo of the Letter Carrier from the Sun late yesterday. We explained to Mr. Warmington that we needed details in order to identify the employee and understand the reasons behind the moment captured in the picture. Instead of waiting to get appropriate information that would have produced, at the very least, a balanced story, a 20-year employee with an exemplary record was singled out as a joke for all his colleagues, friends and family to see.

Had the Toronto Sun provided us with a little time to obtain and share the actual background on what was certainly not urgent news, the paper would probably not have made light of the situation. Or at least paused before putting it on the front page.
