Recently you saw an article in a newspaper/journal about a city/town you know and some of the information in the article was incorrect. Write a letter to the editor regarding this. In your letter, you should tell: •how you know about this city/town •what information was incorrect •what the editor should do about this.
Dear Editor,
I am writing to bring to your attention some inaccuracies in a recent article you published about the
city
of Dhaka, which I have personal knowledge of. As a resident of Dhaka, I was disappointed to see that some of the information in the article was incorrect and potentially misleading to readers.
Specifically, the article stated that the city
's population had decreased by 50% over the past decade, which is simply not true. In fact, the city
's population has remained relatively stable over the past ten years, with only a slight decrease of around 5% in the last
two years due to
the economic downturn.
As someone who knows the city
well, I am concerned that these inaccuracies could lead readers to form negative opinions about Dhaka, and may discourage investment and tourism in the area. I believe that it is important for journalists to strive for accuracy in their reporting, particularly when it comes to matters that can impact a city
's reputation and well-being.
I request you take corrective action by issuing a correction or clarification in a future edition of the newspaper/journal. It is essential that the media act as a responsible and reliable source of information for the public, and I hope that you will take this
matter seriously.
Thank you for your attention to this
matter.
Sincerely,
Alma IslamSubmitted by Alma Islam on
