Press Releases are not Articles

Jump to Comments

Recently, I had a Google alert come up for my riding name, “Nepean-Carleton” with this article in a local free weekly advertiser.

The article, published under the by line “SPECIAL TO THIS WEEK” appeared to be verbatim press release from the office of my Progressive Conservative MPP, Lisa MacLeod. In this piece, she argues against a minimum wage increase that became law on March 31st, 2009.

After sending a letter of compaint to the editor, they offered me the space to write a rebuttal, which they published the next week, available right here.
