MATT STANDS WITH EDITOR

Media Watch finds it interesting that the Media Association would jump to the defence (“100 per cent”) of an editor with a private advertising/communications firm who has been threatened with legal action by Udecott chairman Calder Hart.

"Matt president Joanne Briggs, in a telephone interview yesterday, said the association was also seeking legal advice at this stage “because we want to be fully aware of what is happening and what are the possibilities of the matter going further.”"

But Miss Briggs it's interesting that a few months ago when TV6 reporter Fabian Pierre had accused his colleague Charlene Stuart of racism and sent his letter (which was widely copied, and to us as well) to the Jahajee website, we can't recall hearing that your association had jumped to her defence.
So journalist on journalist threats and allegations are acceptable?
Or could it be because she is not a member of the local Media Association?
Perhaps if Mr Pierre or Miss Stuart had threatened legal action you may have shown some interest in the matter?

PS Mr Pierre, can you give us an update on the outcome of your allegations?
