The Sun came a step closer to mending bridges on Merseyside this
week, nearly 16 years after its ill-judged coverage of the Hillsborough
stadium tragedy led to its sale collapsing in the area.

In a Radio Merseyside phone-in, two parents of Hillsborough victims
said they were willing to accept the Sun’ s apology for its coverage.
Previously, the Hillsborough Family Support Group has voted not to
allow Sun managing editor Graham Dudman to speak to them and apologise
on behalf of the paper.
