(Press Gazette) Journalist Chris Wheal is to meet representatives from the Press Complaints Commission next week for talks on how the press could modify its behaviour to improve the reporting of deaths.
Next Monday’s meeting comes a month after Wheal blogged movingly about being on the receiving end of widespread press attention after his nine-year-old nephew Jamie Bray died in a tragic accident on a rope swing.
