Media Guardian

London 2012 Paralympic Games 

While reading the media guardian I found an article on the Paralympic Games and found it interesting, as it was explaining the issues that the media had posted a picture of another paralymic competitor, instead on the actual winner of that game (Lee Pearson, Team GB). It included views of different people and why they did not agree with the picture on the front of the House and Hound magazine.

One of the people to comment on this was a current paralymian;
'Natasha Baker, the 22-year-old who won two golds and set a new Paralympic record in her grade II class, added her voice to the disapproval, writing on Twitter: "Think its a real shame that us #Paralympic riders will not be on the front cover of @horseandhound yet Burghley have had 2 covers!!!!" '

But Horse and Hound – arguably trying to close the stable door after the horse has bolted – said the choice had been made as a response to reader preferences.
