Inclusion of photo

Inclusion of photo

We refer to an article appearing in The Jakarta Post's Sunday
edition of Feb. 17.

While we do agree with the reported subject, we are rather
disappointed to find the inclusion of a photo taken (without our
consent) at our YA-UDAH Bistro.

The combination of the photo with the article is misleading in
that it gives the impression that the author is directing her
article at our Bistro. Admittedly there is no mention of our
establishment (be it negative or positive) in the article, nor
was our management or staff contacted/interviewed on this
subject. No, the article refers to "five-star hotels", "fashion
cafe" and the "Kafe Roti" and Plaza Senayan.

It would be appreciated if the Post could in the future
consider such cases and be a bit more careful, and it might be a
wonderful idea to contact the respective management in advance to
get permission for printing and taking photos of their
establishments and not just simply delving into your archives and
picking one that might not complain.

Note: Thank you for your input. We regret that you were offended
by the inclusion of the photograph. However, our caption does not
identify your establishment by name and there is no indication in
the wording of the article that service at your establishment is
in any way substandard.
