Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, The Reverend Gideon Cecil’s evasive and at times outright false missive (‘The Caribbean Press should be commended for its willingness to publish young writers,’ SN, March 6) is yet another example of the embarrassing lengths to which the Ministry of Culture is willing to go to distract attention from  issues of accountability affecting the Caribbean Press I’m going to ignore the red herring commentaries on the quality of my prize-winning work, as well as his adoption of Dr David Dabydeen’s discredited argument that my interrogation of the press is some elaborate extortion mechanism, and deal instead with his claims relevant to the issues at hand.
