This week's Sun Media CP-free week a TSF tipster told us about last week apparently does not include the Toronto Sun.
Today's print edition was not CP free. It took a mere five pages to find a CP story and it was one of the hot news stories of the day, with considerable radio and TV play: "Parole Board pardons pedophile coach."
And talk about being petty.
The lead for the online torontosun.com story reads (TSF italics):
OTTAWA - Graham James, the junior coach convicted of sexually abusing his players in a case that rocked the hockey world from house leagues to the NHL, has been pardoned by the National Parole Board, The Canadian Press has learned.
Our print edition reads:
OTTAWA - Graham James, the junior coach convicted of sexually abusing his players in a case that rocked the hockey world from house leagues to the NHL, has been pardoned by the National Parole Board, io s has been learned (sic).
It appears in their haste to downplay CP in CP's exclusive story, editors dropped "The Canadian Press" from the lead and botched the replacement wording.
"The Canadian Press" is mentioned in the third paragraph and "CP" a couple of times, plus "The Canadian Press" credit at the end of the story.
Moving on, there is a Jennifer Ditchburn CP story on Steve Tilley's Page 10 WebPage: Canuck biz falls behind online.
Plus a sports CP story on Page S21: Troops toppled.
So no CP free Sun today. Perhaps the edict applies only to the non-tabloids in the chain.
BTW: All five Daily Dish items on Page 47 have "WENN" credits.
Who dat?

WENN.com is a website that provides celebrity news. I think Canoe uses them.
ReplyDeleteSome experiment, one wonders what the QMI brainchild is going to fill the pages with once they no longer have access to CP-AP. QMI=FAIL

There's access to more Reuters content to counter the AP content...
ReplyDeleteAnd then there's The Sports Network for U.S. sports, which no one seems to know who is writing it as there are no bylines, it just looks like another QMI rip off with no quotes.
Let the hilarity continue.
A lot of Sports Network stuff is written like QMI content, just the company byline. Not all have a reporter-specific byline.
ReplyDeleteNo "rules" were broken. From a QMI missive:
ReplyDeleteBROADSHEET PAPERS will be CP-free as of Sunday-for-Monday editions. TAB PAPERS will be CP-free as of Monday-for-Tuesday editions.
