Steve Bennedik, What for you has been the worst coverage of the McCann case? Has there ever been a time when you have worried that the media or a certain publication has gone to far?

Since the McCann's have returned to the UK, I think a lot of the coverage has been over the top. The Daily Express and others have clearly led on the Madeleine story because they know it will boost readership. I am sure they'd say the public don't have to buy the newspapers. It's not just the papers. Panorama and Tonight with Trevor McDonald have also been examining the case recently. When the Tonight programme looked at the media coverage of the Madeleine McCann case and asked if there was a witch-hunt, I am sure they were well aware that a programme about Madeleine wouldn't do any harm for their ratings.
