Licence payers' BBC ranks male relatives of deceased females ahead of male victims of fatal false rape accusations. Other stories that BBC East Yorks and Lincs consider more newsworthy then Townsend’s death include the theft of a couple’s pet dogs, a possible trek to the north pole next year by eleven random women and a baby being born in a hotel car park in Grimsby. BBC Radio Humberside emphasises the baby born in a car park and stolen dogs as the key stories far more important than Townsend’s life

On Sunday, the Hull Daily Mail reported the news of the inquest into the death of Grant Townsend from Hull. Townsend was aged just 24 when he took his own life and while he clearly had a number of pressures and tragedies in his life, the reporting is commendable in that it makes it clear that a false rape accusation was the main reason for his death, a position echoed by comments made by his family.
