I do not know about other people, but I find that the media people always
tend to give us the "don't worry, we will correct all these points in the
final edit" story. Then - surprise, surprise - it does not happen!
OK so we have a problem.However, it is shared by many other professional
groups and individuals. It is worth bearing in mind just how much inaccurate
or just plain muddle headed informtaion there is flying about these days on
both the internet and the traditional media.
Perhaps the Society of Archivists should have a Media Relations Officer -
but such a step will need someone to come forward and put their head on the
block - and have the time to do it! Any volunteers?????????????
Don't all rush at once!
