Fowl dispute is another feather in PCC's cap

Practical Poultry Magazine isn't a publication to really ever grab the limelight but it has been thrust centre stage today by the Press Complaints Commission as the title was involved in the - cue fanfare - 400th amicable settlement that the press watchdog brokered this year. Ms Michelle Park of Banchory complained that the magazine had published an edited version of a letter she had sent to a supplier with a question about treatment for northern fowl mite. The complainant indicated that she had not given consent for the publication of her letter. The complaint was resolved when the title published a further letter from the complainant explaining that she had successfully eradicated the infestation. Monkey is much relieved. And never let it be said that the PCC doesn't have the teeth to dig into the big disputes.
