Dear Assiniboia
Times editor,
On the front page of
the Assiniboia Times, Volume 102 – Number 25 Friday June 21, 20013 (PMA 40062940
R7925) there is a perfect example of a rush to print without fact
checking.
The quote below is
from the article titled “Composting addressed, curbside recycling coming”. There is no author/journalist listed for this
article.
“’[Composting] had
previously been handled by the Munro brothers and they’ve since stopped
operating the compost site’... ‘says Green.’”
Now my dad and I got
a laugh at that line. For the record,
“Assiniboia Compost Inc.” was a not for profit company run by David (my dad) and
Glen (myself) Munro. We are not
brothers. In the early years of
Assiniboia Compost Inc. Kevin Schauenberg helped out and in the later years my
nephew Antoni (David’s grandson) also helped out.
Since there is no
one listed as the author of this article, I do not know who to contact. As editor, it is your responsibility to
ensure all information is correct at the time of publication.
I am asking for an
apology and correction to be printed on the front cover of the next issue of the
Assiniboia Times.
P.S. The article is
continued on page 5 of the newspaper not page 4 as
mentioned.
Thanks.
Glen Munro (David
Munro’s son)
