Orsino Report post Posted February 26, 2011 A new website has been launched: http://churnalism.com/ As if we didn't know already, the media often just reprints the press releases fed to it by governmental and commercial concerns. This website allows you to cross-check media reports against a database of press releases to see where the original copy came from. I'm sure it will expose some estate agent spin dressed up as news or objective analysis. According to The Drum: Surprisingly the mighty BBC News website is named as one of the sites most prone to indulge in a spot of churn, a result partly attributed to the public service broadcaster’s requirement to carry government pronouncements and produce a high turnover of regional content. What a surprise Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
