The Times picked up the story today as a page lead and Reuters have just filed.

In memory of Alex
Alex Lines was a music student and DJ, with a huge circle of friends and her own website of their nights out.
Last month she died after two years of treatment for malignant melanoma, a tragedy branded "death by suntan" by the tabloids, to the distress of her family.
Her parents plan to release her final piece of music to raise awareness and funding for skin cancer research. Click below to read Alex's story.

Hi again
I'm back online after a stint in Oxford working on television coverage of the general election campaign.
On election night I helped cover the Oxford East count at the Town Hall, where sitting Labour MP Andrew Smith had his 10,000 majority slashed to 950 after an 11% swing to the Liberal Democrats.
A surprise 1,500 votes went to a independent candidate who had changed his name to Honest T Blair and was running on a New Loony/anti-war ticket. Labour party activists told me that at least 1,000 of those were from their supporters, bamboozled by the name BLAIR on the ballot paper.
The atmosphere was like a boxing match. There was even a real punch-up involving rival supporters of Labour and the Independent Working Class Association and the police threw some people out.
All in all, one of the most fun nights I've had all year. Even better than a sleepless night at a rave.
Since returning to Southampton, my stories include a dognapping...
Cash reward to trace stolen puppy
...which turned into an extortion.
Couple pay for return of pet dog
Note the fact that Charlie's captors were clad in hoodies. The Daily Mail kindly picked up my story and featured it as a page lead the next day.
