The British Olympic Association (BOA) is coming under pressure to reverse its decision denying accreditation to The Voice, Britain's biggest black newspaper. It means that the paper's journalists cannot cover events from within the stadium nor will they be able to use the media center.

More than 700 people have signed a change.org petition started by Zita Holbourne, who argues that the decision is "insulting and racist."
