IN response your report headlined 'Is this art?' and the editorial comment 'Resist this censorship', I feel that the issue here is choice.

We have the choice to view exhibitions, plays and TV programmes that may be disturbing and shocking, and we are usually warned of any material we may find offensive.

However in last night's Evening Press - which is delivered every night to my house - my young children and I were exposed to the "shocking and graphic image" (as you described it).

While the subject may be newsworthy, there was no need to display the most shocking image, especially on the front page.
