Creative Editing

I’ve had a short letter to the editor published in todays Nya Åland where I welcome the limited support offered by Mariehamn’s Liberals for hemspråksundervisning. I finished it off by pointing out that the Liberals were split right down the middle in the question and that this was shown by their candidates’ answers to the question on hemspråksundervisning in the valmaskin.

The last part, which was critcal of the liberals, has been butchered by Nyan’s censors and replaced by their rather gentle interpretation of what they think I meant to say! They didn’t ask me or even tell me about the change before publishing it. I guess I should count myself lucky it didn’t say I’d offered to buy them a round at Arken on Sunday night in gratitude for their support.
