 Press Council upholds complaint against copy editor
The Quebec Press Council has upheld a complaint against Gazette copy editor Peter Wheeland, filed by Julien Feldman when he was a candidate for the board of directors of the MUHC Hospital. Wheeland had posted an opinion on his personal Facebook page titled Julien Feldman, A really BAD choice for MUHC Hospital board. Feldman, a commissioner on the English Montreal School Board, claimed the information in the posting was inaccurate and incomplete, and that Wheeland’s sole motive was to sabotage his candidacy. Feldman included The Gazette in his complaint. The Press Council dropped the complaint against The Gazette, which argued it did not have the same concerns over personal blogs, websites, Facebook pages, etc., of employees who were not directly associated with the newspaper through their byline. However, the Council recommended that The Gazette extend its social media policy beyond writers to include all employees involved in producing the content of the newspaper.
