Media coverage of Burnham Foundation activities not adequate

Oct 23, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
On Monday, October 19 the Chronicle Newspaper reported on the General Members Meeting of the Burnham Foundation which was held on Sunday, October 18. For that the Foundation is grateful, since previously almost all of the dailies hardly covered the events of the Foundation. However, the Foundation is disappointed with aspects of the coverage given to it. The main presenter at the meeting was a young alumnus of, and teacher at, the college. She spoke on the Introspection and Prospects of the College. Her presentation was balanced and spoke to the strengths and weakness of the college, including its decline.  However, the coverage was done under a screaming headline:” President‘s College reduced to ‘nothing’ under PPP/C.” This was reiterated in the first and second paragraphs of the article. This left the presenter in shock and dismay, since her presentation and its tenor never alluded to the college being reduced to ‘nothing’ nor was mention made of the PPP/C. The Foundation therefore wishes that this letter be given equal prominence with the article and that the newspaper acknowledges that the idea of nothingness was wrongly attributed to, or misrepresented the presentation of, the presenter.
Vincent Alexander
Chairman
