ALL the news that's fit to print - that's the motto of the New York Times.
And last week the saga surrounding Cardigan Castle was one of the leading items in the United States most respected daily newspaper.
New York Times journalist Nick Madigan was holidaying in St Dogmaels over Christmas when he heard of Cardigan Castle and the Tivy-Side's campaign to bring the ancient monument into public ownership.
Like any good newshound on the scent of a story he turned up at the Tivy-Side offices to do some research.
"The New York Times likes stories - from any part of the world. And Cardigan Castle is a very good story," he said.
The article - complete with pictures of Miss Wood and the castle gates - was published last weekend.
Datelined Cardigan, Wales, Dec 29, the article's first paragraph sets the tone: 'Behind crumbling walls and a maze of trees, the ruins of a 12th century castle loom over the Teifi River, a relic of wars between Welsh armies and invading English kings.'
And a few paragraphs later it notes: 'Ceredigion County Council plans to take control of Cardigan Castle and turn it into a museum and tourist attraction, a potential boon to the faltering economy of this wind-whipped town on the coast of the Irish Sea.'
