Hello, I hope this is the right place to ask for advice & ideas.
I live in a small town in the UK. Our local (weekly) newspaper is 'mostly harmless', but it does have a column 'Thought For The Week' usually written by a local vicar, and which includes the usual warm religious words. Sometimes though it is written by one Rev. David V. Jebson, who I have discovered died last March!
His website is easy to find, and there are many 'thoughts' there which I gather are used by several newspapers. I've checked with the editor, who confirms that they quite often copy his 'thoughts' in their column, I quote from her reply "I like to think that he would have been delighted for his 'voice' to still be heard"
I've checked with a friend who used to be a journalist. He tells me that there is nothing unusual or illegal about this.
I feel I ought to make some sort of complaint or protest, but I don't know what to do ? Writing a letter to the newsapaper is pointless, they would not print it.
Advice please ?
