British tabloid The Daily Mail has responded to the criticisms and protests of their coverage of the tragic suicide of a 13-year old British girl.

The newspaper issued the following statement in light of the march against the paper which took place over the weekend:

The Daily Mail’s coverage of the ‘Emo’ movement has been balanced, restrained and above all, in the public interest. Genuine concerns were raised at the inquest earlier this month on 13 year old emo follower Hannah Bond who had been self-harming and then tragically killed herself.

In common with other newspapers we ran an accurate news story recording the Coroner’s remarks and the parents’ comments. We also published two other articles, one of which explained the background to the Hannah tragedy in calm and un-sensational language.
