Dear Bugle Internationale,

I was surprised and dismayed to see page 10 of the 31 May issue featured 'A Personal Word with Fellow Egalitarian Aussies' (I've never read the last two words together in the same sentence); a comment on international affairs (without the disclaimer of 'A paid advertisement').

Is this the future direction of The Bugle?

Will your pages be filled with comments on international affairs? I read, and formerly enjoyed The Bugle for its coverage of Kiama and the local area. With modern technology anyone can be an Internet Crusader (preferably elsewhere) with a wide audience.

I hope The Bugle will remail a local periodical.

Sincerely me,

J.P. Young

Editor's Note: The online version of 'A Personal Word with Fellow Egalitarian Aussies' included the disclaimer that it was paid content. Unfortunately, due to a production error, it did not appear in the print version. The 31 May digital edition has been updated to denote that this was paid content by a local contributor.
