An interesting dilemma for one local newspaper


One of the persistent news items recently in a local newspaper has been the question of Wooli village and the potential effects of ongoing beach/land erosion.

What is interesting about this coverage is the fact that at least one senior staff member is reputed to own property there and, at the time of writing this post, one journalist (currently on leave) is listed as part of the 10 member media team on the Save Wooli website.

Readers could rightly suspect the motives of any published article on the subject which does not carry a byline and, when appropriate, a declaration of interest.
