Comment on Martha Payne?

I find it very mean of the media to have used her pictures in magazines and for only one of them to donate £50 which she put into her fund for starving kids.

Yet again I believe they should hang their heads in shame.

Update:

Sorry......Martha Payne is the little girl in Scotland who set up a blog about her school meals. She was banned from doing so by the local authorities, but with all the media attention that it created had to back down. She is raising funds for 'Mary's Meals (a scheme to feed African schoolkids by setting up kitchens at their schools so that at least they can have one good meal per day). Her blog (http://www.neverseconds.blogspot.co.uk)/ has become an internet sensation raising more than £89,000. Her original target being £7000.

She put the first donation in with the comment 'This is all the money I was given by a magazine for using my photos. A lot of magazines didn't ask.'
