Hi, we are going to start a monthly column in Community Care on Backchat about the media coverage of social work.

First up is the Daily Mail's coverage of the Justice Munby's ruling in the Nottingham baby case, which is linked in the Community Care story here

also news editor Mithran Samuel blogs about the lack of coverage in most of the media about the inquiry into adoption targets

I thought the Mail's coverage was surprisingly balanced.

So what do you think?

Please post up any other coverage aswell, especially local newpapers which may have failed to have seen at comcare.

thanks
