I don't work for the Telegraph if that's what you mean. Believe it or not, people can have a different opinion to you without having a vested interest!
If the Telegraph isn't doing all that stuff, then who is? Genuine question. The BBC, I guess (they've published a grand total of four stories about CCFC this month, all based off club press releases).
That's a fun idea you have for Andy Turner to go freelance. Which news organization do you think is willing to pay him for daily CCFC coverage? Or maybe we can give him a totally different beat like the Beeb did with Simon Gilbert and hope he does CCFC stories in his spare time.
You're not getting it with the Chaplin story. I don't care that the CT got the story from another source. I care that they bought it to my attention so that I didn't have to trawl local Portsmouth news, or CCFC message boards in order to find it. That's local journalism 101. And like I said, I'm grateful for it.
So you don't want to trawl message boards for news (understandable) but you seem to trawl message boards for things being said about the local news paper?
Do you actually thing the telegraph are doing all the things you mention or again don't you realise they are just copy and pasting it? (Andy does do his own match reports and live text)
If you just want copy and paste news aggregators stick the ccfc news now bookmark in and you will get it faster.
Kev Monks does pretty much the same thing as the telegraph in re hashing the news. He just does it once and doesn't clickbait the crap out of it.
