The Times

Please allow me to make my point via your newspaper. It is my view that newspapers in particular should be extremely cautious and sensitive with regard to the exposure of females whether it is an advert or news article. One reason being that while we encourage our children to read extensively to improve on the language and generally newspapers are a source of information, the extent of nudity in some newspapers prevents parents from allowing their children to look at these newspapers. In some instances, parents were caught in an embarrassing situation, parent/child to have opened to the page wherein this almost naked picture is displayed – what is the parent/child suppose to?  

My view is not based on some extremists' opinion and hope this is not misconstrued. Surely we all would like our children to benefit from the wealth of information carried in the newspapers and therefore I would urge your paper to seriously consider my viewpoint.
