Random thoughts that are pointless and too dumb to say anywhere else thread: 2015–2018 (plus one)

[jerichoholicninja]

The "business reporter" for our local newspaper just copies and pastes Facebook posts from businesses and somehow this constitutes news. Seriously, she will write one or two sentences and then copy whole paragraphs from Facebook and this is actually published and printed without any mention of where the words came from. It's passed off as if she any did some actual reporting.

Is that plagiarism or just public relations disguised as journalism?

 

I'm just a little late, but for the sake of board performance, I'm starting a new Random Thoughts thread for the rest of 2019. All hail this four-year thread!
