Dangers of Neighbourly - be warned!
Stu Hunt, Editor of the Nelson Leader, started a thread about Freedom Camping during which he assured me (in writing) that the community concerns expressed would be the focus of a Leader article, January 12.
When the article was published it turned out to be a solid defence of the Nelson City Council and its position and did not mention any of the comments on the thread Editor Stu Hunt started on Neighbourly or ‘focus’, as he had advised it would, on the community’s concerns – but quite the opposite
He then put a final post up defending his one-sided decision (and the misinformation he gave me) and now I find the thread appears to have been closed to further comments – giving Stu Hunt and the Leader the last laugh on all of us who participated (foolishly) in his ‘poll’.
I am concerned Neighbourly is not really the community serving project it is touted as but really an ‘interesting’ advertising vehicle for Fairfax (the proprietors of it) and we members are being duped.
Can Stu Hunt and the Leader explain:
Why the assurance its article on Freedom Camping would focus on the community concerns expressed throughout Stu’s thread was not met?
How is it that a Fairfax editor can close a thread as soon as it becomes uncomfortable for Fairfax or that editor?
Is this free speech in Fairfax’s mind/s?
