| IT is time that people of this nation stand up against some of the lies published in the Kaieteur News as it can mislead not only the local populace but the international community. The latest episode involving a sluice door at Coverden depicts the poor journalistic skills of its reporters, who are eager to publish stories without any verification of the subject matter. I wish to comment a little on the article titled: “Tender Board withholds specs from media – KN Publisher” in the Kaieteur News dated Saturday, March 5, 2011, which is another cover-up story. Having read the entire content of the article, I found it strange that Mr. Glen Lall chose to defend his article rather than offer an apology for the inaccurate article from the previous day. The explanation that he proffers for publishing the wrong sluice does not have any merit, since it does not matter whether the picture published was of “a sluice bordering Coverden and Caledonia” since the correct sluice to be rehabilitated should have been in the picture, moreso since it was on the front page. |
