But I wondered whether Jonathan & Ian consented to having their emails published? Jonathan's email especially strikes me as the kind he'd not have intended for publication, especially as it might create some tension between him and some 'idiot sub'. He also sounds apologetic - inadequate as it may seem - and as I write for newspapers myself, I know what he means about how some things get taken out of the journalist's hands, sometimes.<BR/><BR/>I have glanced at the two stories and they are not written exactly the same. I wondered, did you write these up yourself or they drafted their respective stories using information supplied by you? If they did the writing, then it is likely that the papers will think the byline should be theirs. It's good that the Indy will pay you for 'research', though I don't know if that's any consolation.<BR/><BR/>I understand how you feel, but I hope this can be resolved in a way that leaves room for you to be able to have a more rewarding relationship with these media houses in future. <BR/>mwAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18540171.post-1139584308044562852006-02-10T15:11:00.000+00:002006-02-10T15:11:00.000+00:00Hmmm...sounds a trifle dodgy to me especially the ...Hmmm...sounds a trifle dodgy to me especially the discordant tunes....well, the important thing is you've learnt....as the late Nigerian politician MI Okpara used to say "First time fool no be fool, second time foll na original mumu"uknaijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14364734451470135447noreply@blogger.com
