The Leinster Express has, without my permission, twice taken pieces from this blog and/or from my letters published elsewhere, and printed them as if they were letters to the paper. Naughty, naughty, I would have thought. It would have been courteous of them to tell me, not to say ask. And I would have appreciated a chance to nuance the text for a different readership. They are welcome to use my writings – but with my permission please. I trust that they’ll choose a variety of material from this blog, and not just publish the potentially controversial stuff. I wonder if they might pay me …..
In the Leinster Express you have let loose the dogs of the media… May God help you…
It could be that they simply printed a letter of mine published in the C of I Gazette a couple of weeks ago. I’m told they did that a while back with a letter of mine published in the Irish Times, and a colleague tells me they did that with one of his in the Farmers’ Journal. A bit shady, I would have thought.
