SO THERE we
are feeling quite pleased with ourselves for being crowned Britain’s Best
Weekly Newspaper for the second successive year at the Society of Editors' awards when a lovable reader of the Essex Chronicle brings us back to earth
with a jolt.
The
gentleman writes to berate us for confusing the Queen’s Coronation with the
Diamond Jubilee festivities (guilty as charged; I’m off to The Tower) but then
goes on to say:
“Frankly
I find quite a few errors in your editions that makes me wonder if any of
your articles are ever proof read before publication.
"How you supposedly
won Britain's Best Weekly Newspaper for the second year running beats me.”
Love
you too, I replied, as I acknowledged his note and our mistake. Must try harder…
