Interesting story from ABC in Australia in a programme called Media Watch. The programme (with transcripts and video available in the link here...) looks at the Saturday Daily Telegraph's decision not to cover Anthony Mundine's sporting career. This is what the paper says:
"The Saturday Daily Telegraph is so sick of Anthony Mundine and his racist taunts that this newspaper declined to preview any aspect of the boxer's bout against Pablo Zamora Nievas this week.
Instead of publicising the bout and helping to put money into the Mundine coffers, the newspaper decided not to give Sydney's biggest mouth any pre-bout coverage to prove that racist taunts will not be tolerated from anyone, no matter how big a star they think they are."
— Daily Telegraph, Short Shots, 30th June, 2007
The ABC programmme looks at what lead to the newspaper's decision.
