BRATTLEBORO — I should like to alert you to several errors in your reporting in a column by Jeff Potter [Editor's Notebook, Feb. 29].
You cited my magazine as vermontviews.com, which is actually a blog for a Burlington PBS station, and since the topic was on reporting rape perhaps they will not like it.
Instead, I wonder if you will make these corrections to fact and to detail in print:
a) The correct URL is vermontviews.org.
b) I know it is usual to talk of “graphic” presentations of material, even about text, but I wonder if you could also clarify that the column mentioned contains no graphics, pictures, or illustrations of rape.
c) The column is not on any general subject of ”sexual abuse,” but specifically about rape. It is one of 35 regular pages, each of which have a different topic, and the magazine is not a specialty one on the subject of rape or sexual abuse.
d) The column is heavily signalled to the reader that it may contain sexual or violent material.
It might seem contextually from the editorial as if I had not guarded the subject with sufficient discrimination, and it may in fact have been a licentious or intendedly shocking act of publishing, rather than an educational one, especially since the editorial continues to mention naming names of minors, and that the column I publish is not written by one.
