Catherine Keyl finds it awkward, reprehensible and dubious that John van den Heuvel has written the preface for the book by murderer Joran van der Sloot. “Strategic error.”
It is incredibly stupid: John van den Heuvel has lost authority, status and respect by writing the preface of the book by murderer Joran van der Sloot. Even his own colleagues from De Telegraaf do not understand why on earth would do that. The crime reporter is stubborn, because he does not want to admit his enormous mistake.
Catherine Critical
Catherine Keyl thinks it’s a shame because she always had a high cap from John. “Yes. I greatly appreciate John for everything he does, but this has been a strategic error, “she says in Story.
John will chase this for a long time, she thinks. “By writing a preface you give the impression that you want to promote the book. And I can’t imagine that his intention was! “
Am stunned
Singer Ben Cramer is also in the Story prominent panel and endorses Catherine’s opinion. “‘Yes. It’s a murderer. “
There will be a financial motive behind it, he thinks. “The fact that he writes the preface in the book is a smart move by the publisher. And because of that sticker on the cover, stating that John has written the preface, it will be a commercial expression. ”
Awkward move
Henk Krol, known as a former politician, sees John falling in his esteem. “Yes. John is one of the nicest and most sympathetic journalists I know. But unfortunately this is a very awkward move from him. “
“He always has the best for everyone. And maybe also in this case, but it’s not handy. “
