How does a newspaper expect to be objective if it copies press releases?
If Coca Cola put out a press release would The Guardian reproduce it in full? I doubt it.
A press release alerts an editor or journo to a potential story and gives them the background to follow it up.
A newspaper with editorial staff should not be reproducing press releases without credit.
But your loyalty to archant is both touching and predictable. I'm sure they could use someone with your skills to copy out press releases.
