at least they printed the response from our president.
I included the original atricle. In the picture are two NAS members (scott and patrick) and a member of the publc.
They didn't print my letter:
Sent: Friday, 9 September 2005 3:02 PM
To: 'letters@theherald.com.au'
Subject: use and abuse
Importance: High
I think it is absolutely abhorred when a regional newspaper takes advantage and abuses the very people it provides for. I refer to the article in Fridays (9/09/2005) herald written by Frances Thompson.
The journalist in question contacted the Newcastle Astronomical Society for help with the article that was to be written and the Herald had a photographer come to an event run by the Society, used society members and yet we received no mention, or reference in the article. There are standards of etiquette and common decency in reporting the truth, and to a large extent giving kudos where it is deserved. We are not Koolang Observatory and the owner of that Business was not attending the viewing night.
Give our Society a go "The Herald". Put this right!
