Nowhere in my article is there such a phrase like “dead wood overhead jobs (like accountants) should be eliminated". Especially not accountants! Please do not quote according to your understanding of the matter but to the facts stated. I really do not appreciate being falsely quoted.
Apologies. I've replaced that with a direct quote to avoid confusion.
Thank you. We're good! :)
Let me just emphasize on the fact that "dead wood" does not mean "accountants" or the likes; this can mean journalists not adapting to the new paradigm.
Thanks again for the correction...
