Latest Take 5 claims murdered girl’s British mother is from Brisbane and Auckland
Take 5
Weekly women’s magazine Take 5 has published more foreign articles altered to appear Australian in the latest edition of the magazine on newstands today.
The publishing of a story about a mother whose daughter was murdered at a Christmas party comes almost a week after the Bauer Media Group said measures had been put in place to stop the practice. Bauer says it has invested in two more staff to combat the problem.
In the latest article grieving mother Mary Storrie of Leicester, whose daughter Rosie May was murdered in 2003, is said to be from Brisbane in Queensland, while Bauer’s New Zealand title Lucky Break says she is from Auckland.
Why do you need extra staff not to change something?
So murdered children are just “content” to be played with. Lovely.
Must sell ads!
Mags to survive need to be overseas licenses that can pull cheap content from their British/American parent. Fact. Although this whole Take 5 thing is sordid it’s merely a sign of the times. Take practically any newsstand mag – Who, Men’s Health, Women’s Health, Top Gear, Rolling Stone, Empire, OK, Marie Claire etc, etc… I’d say 90-100% of their content is lifted from their overseas cousins. (And there, my dear friends, is why readers are switching off in droves…!)
And let’s face it — there would have been no change if the practice hadn’t come to light. Clearly Bauer thought this was acceptable.
