John Meakin John Meakin was a reporter employed by the " Weatherfield Gazette " who covered three stories involving the residents of Coronation Street . In November 1966 , Elsie Tanner ' s grandson Paul Cheveski went missing and was found after an intensive search on the bank of the Weatherfield Canal , having been pulled by someone out of the dank water . Suffering from pneumonia , Paul was hospitalised and Meakin went round the residents trying to get his story , but to no avail . One exception was the boy ' s mother Linda , who spoke to him in the hope that it would publicise the fact that the Gas Street side of the canal wasn ' t properly fenced off . It later transpired that none other than Councillor Len Fairclough had blocked the tender for the new fence and when Meakin published the story it led to a fight between Len and Paul ' s father Ivan . The following year , in the May a major disaster occurred in the area when a goods train plunged off the viaduct and onto the street , killing Sonia Peters and injuring Ena Sharples . Meakin was soon on hand with his notebook . He tried to get an eye - witness statement from David Barlow but was curtly told to ask someone else as he wanted to do something useful i . e . shifting debris . He got even less help from Jerry Booth who threatened him with a punch if he didn ' t leave him alone and came to Minnie Caldwell ' s defence when he tried to speak to her about Ena . When Sergeant Bowden spotted him , he asked him to try and keep out of the way and Meakin meakly obliged . Later on , after Sonia ' s body was recovered , Meakin obtained an update of the situation from Bowden . His reporting had a happier effect though in April 1970 when David had been killed in a car crash in distant Australia . Albert Tatlock spoke to the " Gazette " giving all the details about David and his wife Irma annoying David ' s brother Ken . However the printed piece also mentioned the fact that Stan couldn ' t afford to go out there to help his daughter over her grief and this resulted in a flood of sympathy letters and money pouring into the " Gazette " offices and 13 Coronation Street . Meakin came to the Ogdens ' with their received mail and the paper ' s photographer Kevin and handed Stan a pile of letters and donations from people amounting to some £250 - £300 which , with another £300 sent directly to Stan , gave him enough money to pay for his ticket down under .
