Dear all

 

Icon has assisted Simon Tait to write this article on the TCC closure in The Times.  The online version gives readers the chance to comment in the 'Have Your Say' box at the bottom.  Please will you do so BECAUSE:

 

1.  A high rate of feedback demonstrates to the editor that there is wide interest in the story.  This may help Simon do a follow story at a later date.

2.  Simon Cane sent in a letter to the Times on behalf of our Board which was not published.  If the editors see it is big news there is a chance our letter will get published now.

3.  We also helped Maev Kennedy write a piece for the Guardian but it was 'spiked'.  It will help her get her editors to run the piece in The Guardian if there is a good response to the story in the Times.

 

 

Please forward this message to your colleagues.

 

Thanks
