Letter to the Editor
We'll wait and see what happens to this request to the Sydney Morning Herald to correct their story in today's edition:
Dear Sir,
I am writing to bring to your attention a significant factual error in the story (Church public relations blogs up discussion about the doctor and the vicar) in today's Sydney Morning Herald.
Paola Totaro asserts that Matthias Media is an “Anglican public relations organ”. This is incorrect and seriously misleading to your readers.
Matthias Media is an independent, non-denominational book publishing company. It is not a public relations organization. It is not Anglican. We do not, in any sense, speak on behalf of the Anglican Diocese. Nor do any of our employees, including Mr Cheng. Nor do we, or any of our employees, speak on behalf of Dean Phillip Jensen.
I would ask that you (1) bring these errors to the attention of the author of the article to ensure there is no similar misreporting in the future, and (2) publish a correction as soon as possible.
Yours faithfully,
Ian Carmichael
Operations and Finance Director
