My Letter to Editor, Kuensel (Dzongkha Section)

Dear editor,

I am disheartened with your office for not showing a minimum degree of ethics in using a materials contributed by an outsider.

This has a reference to a story written by Samten Yeshi on Yak-lha festival, where I have contributed a rare pictures to Samten Yeshi. I considered his request upon his repeated pleas.

However we agreed on following conditions:

1. That those pictures are still my copy right protected materials
2. That Kuensel will give due courtesy (at least)
3. I am the ultimate lawful owner and I have contributed the picture just for one time use only.

And also I regret to inform you that this is not the first time. Your office did not even give a proper courtesy for my earlier picture used by Samten Yeshi while covering a similar story sometime in April 2012.

Lastly, as a premier news agency, I expect a lot more professionalism in your office.


Yours faithfully
Kuenzang Thinley
