Call me old fashioned
but when it is OK for newspapers to copy WORD FOR WORD WITH MINIMAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT a story that appears on another site?

If anyone is interested, Archant's journalistic endeavours here amount to removing the word "Norwich" in the first para and amending "Gunn told First News..." to "Gunn told the club's official website..."
That is cut and paste journalism, pure and simple, and it is lazy and disrespectful to anyone who thinks Archant have put any effort into that story.
