I understand they may also have made a charity payment by way of apology.

[News] The Argus apologises to Harty

- Start date
I couldn’t see the donation mentioned in the article? Is this fact or conjecture, I wouldn’t want you getting into trouble sir....
Good. Still not sure why they ran the original story. No cats up trees in Worthing these days?

To throw at the cat?
Hopefully mud didn't stick in the minds of readers who only read the original incompetently composed piece.

2000 pound awarded by the argus and it will be shared between two charities of Ian's choice (chestnut amd st barnabas)
Oh yeah I'd completely forgotten about that.

Why did they need to give him an apology? (I don't read The Arsegas.)

If you read the link in the original post it explains that a significant element in the online version oc the story, was untrue
Quite right too. Are they putting the apology article on page 1 of the hard copy rag? I'd be surprised.
Let's be honest, this is the pathetic level of "journalism" that the Argus has been headed towards for many years. The numpties that the paper now employs clearly don't check facts. They can't even be bothered to spellcheck.
Would we really miss this rag if it ceased being published tomorrow?

No thanks. I know it's petty, but I won't give them the satisfaction of even one page click after the hyperbolic 'The day it rained fire' cover it ran the Monday after the Shoreham Air Crash. It's kinda my equivalent to people who won't shop on the Goldstone Retail Park. Hence I don't ever set eyes on a copy in real life of online.

Poor journalism these days in what was once a good and serious rag. Stories they have ran that I've had knowledge of on a personal level have been printed with factual inaccuracies. An exception was Justin Parkinson who covered a story concerning myself back in 1999. Very professional. A quick search has him at the BBC now. Unsurprising.
