Magazine defends Goody ‘tribute’ before her death

OK! magazine has defended its decision to publish a “tribute” edition to Jade Goody even though she is still alive.

This week’s copy of the magazine carries a black border, the banner “Jade Goody Official Tribute Issue 1981–2009” and the strapline “In Loving Memory”.

The 27-year-old reality TV star, who has terminal cancer, is spending her final days at home with her family.
