Media need to get a sense of proportion

 Newsworthy???

Question: You are a news editor.

1. Four days ago the Archbishop of Canterbury makes an academic speech to a room full of lawyers about the theoretical incorporation of some aspects of financial and marital Sharia law into English law.

2. Hundreds of category A prisoners (including Ian Huntley) could have their convictions quashed and be freed because police illegally bug confidential conversations between lawyers and their clients.

Which do you think is the most newsworthy?

Please send your answers to national news editors.

No wonder Gordon is trying extend the news cycle of the Archbishop Sharia story
