This invited commentary forPacific Journalism Reviewis published to further debate. Evans argues: 'While I have always respected the editor's right to reject a cartoon, he can never have the right to direct it – an understanding that was mutually agreed as a condition of my hire when I took theHeraldjob six years earlier.
