The "intention" factor
I finally ran into a copy of the Midweek Herald today (there is no delivery here) and noted the letter from Terry Dinham in response to a previous correspondent to the paper. Knowing you read this Terry, whilst I might accept the point that you had "no intention to mislead" per se, the 4 page blurb (sorry, advert) was near the mark when it comes to honesty. According to Mr Dinham, the mere act of stating that it is an advertisers announcement and mentioning the word "developer" and " Liatris" means that it is obvious who sponsored it. Actually the problem is with the thrust of it,that and the only contact details provided were those of the EDDC and the accuracy of the content of the 4 page spread itself being somewhat debatable. Also the many members of the public who asked me at the time why EDDC were doing ads.
If you say the words "sales pitch" then you get the gist...we've already covered the topic so I won't go on about the discrepancies it contains, but what is curious is that Terry seems to have ended up defending the advert placed in a completely different newspaper
No confusion here Terry, just ironic smiles;-)
