Dear Mr, Alexander:
The enclosed editorial was broadcast four times each by
WBT, WBT-FM, and three times by WBTV on the evening of
March 7 and the morning of March 8. In the interest of
fairness and in an effort to present as balanced a picture as possible to our audience, it is our policy to
invite response from a spokesman representing an opposing
viewpoint. We are extending this offer to you in connection with the enclosed editorial.
You may respond by videotaping your statement in our studios , by sending us a recorded response, or by a written
statement to be read by one of our staff announcers. We
ask that your response be limited to 300 words and that
a copy of your proposed remarks be forwarded (for review
by our Editorial Board) in advance of recording. If your
response is to be read by our announcer, it would be helpful to have a glossy head-and-shoulder portrait of yourself,
preferably in color.
If at all possible, we would like to hear from you within
the next week, but we do want to hear from you. Your
comments will enable our viewers and listeners to form
their own opinions and draw their own conclusions from
having heard both sides of the issue.
Thank you for your consideration, Mr. Alexander, and we
look forward to sharing your thoughts with our radio and
television audiences.
Cordially,
