Hi Northerner,
I'd find it difficult to believe that all the journalists are writing for the magazine without pay? They may well be staff, so they are still on the payroll! Perhaps they mean for un-commissioned work.
If the articles within magazines are coming free, usually someone is paying the journalist, in this case a drugs company, meter manufacturer etc. Perhaps in the form of discounted advertising.
I'd hope not and certainly the articles don't tend to be biased to any one product or service.
As I posted yesterday in another thread on the same article, this country is now in a position where one voice from a minority can vito the majority voice in favour - this is political correctness gone mad and I think the editor should be brought to task over his competence and ability to publish this magazine, which all said and done is a cushy number. One magazine every two months, must keep him busy for two weeks at least?
If as a charity they are paying someone to do a job then they should fairly represent the majority of their supporters (we're shortly to cease to be members!) and not be cutting corners filling pages of a magazine with a mailbag of letters relating to someone who must have given up her career as she was seemingly as compassionate as a dead fish! When there are important issues to be addressed and other people with views these should not be overshaddowed by this moron.
The the board of trustees of DUK, should be reviewing if the magazine should continue in its current state and with its current management as a matter of urgency, if this is DUKs primary 'get to the supporters' medium then they are heading down a very slippery slope.
Its high time someone fell on where sword. No names mentioned.
