Letters to the Editor of NOSN

[Rheghead]

Does anyone know if it is taken as implied consent that you can have your letter published when writing to the Editor even if you don't want it to be published?

Why would you write to a journalist if you didn't want it published? Publishing is what they do!

[Rheghead]

Some things are best kept out of the press, that is why.

If one sends a Letter to the Editor, normally a reply is received, asking for full name, address and phone number. I don't remember being asked for permission. I think if you send it, permission is implied. Just my take on it, but I am am sure you can cancel...

I just want a candid communication with NOSN without the fear of the tape recorder running.

'Off the Record'. Beware....From experience. Good luck.

Never trust a Journalist Reggie, dodgy blighters them be..

Have you tried giving them aa call to just talk about the issue in hand. Once written and sent I would think the newspaper could use it.

The tape recorder running thingy.....
The general rule of thumb Internationally is, if you call the Media they take that as an acceptance that they may record what you say for accuracy. Implied consent.
If they call you them they generally ask if it is OK to tape said conversation for accuracy. You can state to them that you do not want to be taped, but as has been said...Be careful. There are general rules and for every one of those,there is an exception.
