...to report on anything positive about the Gypsy and Traveller community?

The past few weeks, members of the Travelling community have been taking part in an 'Icebucket Challenge' style idea on social media. They fill a trolley with goods for the foodbank, donate and then nominate their friends/family to do the same. My newsfeed has been FULL of people taking up and sharing the challenge the last few weeks.

Some local newspapers have reported it today but the bigger outlets seem to be lagging behind/outright ignoring the story.

People in the Travelling community are traditionally very generous in their efforts for charity. But I suppose papers are more interested in reporting the inflammatory "Village Green Overrun by Swarm of Gypsies!" stories.
