RE your report about the 34-year-old mother found dead on Seaton Carew beach, near Hartlepool (Echo, Oct 30).

I give up hope of the North-East ever getting a fair deal when even The Northern Echo prints a dark, dismal close-up of Teesside and tells the world it is Seaton Carew.

A 180 degree turn would have shown a mile of glorious, sandy beach with the Headland in the background. Take your telephoto lens off and substitute it for a wide angle, about turn and show the world the true Seaton Carew instead of adding more gloom to such a tragic event.
