The three local newspapers rejected my communication, likewise did the two weeklies.
I got hold of Percy Layton.

He was a graduate of the university, had gone in for journalism, and was then serving his apprenticeship as reporter on the most influential of the three newspapers.

He smiled when I asked him the reason the newspapers suppressed all mention of Jackson or his case.
"Editorial policy," he said.

"We have nothing to do with that.

It's up to the editors." "But why is it policy ?" I asked.
"We're all solid with the corporations," he answered.
