Newspaper prints letter to the editor – two years after its writer died
A New South Wales weekly newspaper published a letter to the editor from a reader who died two years previously.
The Port Stephens Examiner originally received the note from reader Bill Broadhead in July 2009, yet somehow featured it seven years later in October 2016.
The incident came to light after the writer’s son, Scott Broadhead, complained to the Australian Press Council.
If there’s a newspaper out there that would like to publish something from me seven years after I die, please let me know. I’d be appreciative.
