Telegraph plagiarism - another update

No answer yet from the Daily Telegraph after repeated enquiries about plagiarism and Sarah Womack.

But at least we're getting the topic aired on the paper's blog pages. Richard Burton, editor of telegraph.co.uk, wrote scathingly about the 1970s, freesheets and "one-man band editors" who "suddenly appeared to produce 'editorial' between the ads, usually revamped press releases".

This seemed an ideal time to mention his own paper's use of revamped press releases. I posted a comment and question a week or more ago. And forgot about it, to be honest. But now I see it did appear.

Might this be the catalyst for a full and frank disclosure of the paper's attitude to "editorial"? We can only hope.
