Any journos on the board today ?

Is there any good reason why the Pink Un story about Hughes is identical to the NCFC First news version?

Is it common practice at Archant to take a story or press release and copy it, verbatim, without even acknowledging the source?

At least they had the decency not to put a false byline on it.

zzzzz
