Kernow: Signs of a Truce in Newspaper Dispute

NEWS FROM THE CELTIC LEAGUE KERNOW: SIGNS OF A TRUCE IN NEWSPAPER DISPUTE There could be signs of a ?truce? in the dispute between the Kernow branch and the Western Daily News over an article branch members found offensive. Branch Convener, Michael Chappell, says he has received ?an apology of sorts? from the Editor and also an offer to contribute an article to set the record straight. This from Mike Chappell: Dear Councillor Chappell, Thank you for your email. I am sorry that you and your colleagues were upset by Chris Rundle?s column. As a columnist Chris is often provocative and stirs debate. However I certainly felt the tone of his article yesterday was more tongue-in-cheek than an attempt to be deliberately offensive. However, I do appreciate that safeguarding the future of languages is important and it really wasn?t our intention to undermine your League?s purpose or intent. If you or any of your colleagues would like to write a letter or an article of around 500 words in response to Chris we will willingly publish it. With best wishes, Rob Stokes Editor Western Daily Press?
