A thread is on dailymail

[sheffield11]

Remember that thread about wanting to cancel wedding abroad for a house but friends had already paid?

mol.im/a/8502303

Guessing it was a journalist who made it then?

I don’t the journalist is the bride, but a lazy journalist looking to Mumsnet for an easy story. It’s not the first time, and won’t nbe the last.

Lazy, lazy Daily Mail.

No it just means the Daily Fail as always have scraped “news” from here

Not sure why you think it was a journalist who posted it. Also, are you new??! The Mail (and other newspapers) have been lifting stories from MN for donkeys years

Not necessarily, it just means a particularly shit one has lifted a story so they don't have to put any actual work in.

To be honest it’s not even the most interesting story on here. Lazy indeed.

Can’t have much talent, can they ? But then again they do “write” for the Daily Fail 😂

Lots of threads end up on the DM

It's not even a good story/well written

All the papers lift from MN, not just the DM

It is very common that the twatty Daily Fail lifts stories from here. Stupid rag that it is!!

It's almost worth faking a post to see if the DM can be shared... it doesn't seem like they check the integrity of the original sources.

The fake Alphabet Street threads ended up in the Mirror

So? It happens all the time. Don't post anything that will cause you concern if it reaches a wider audience.

alphabet street was fake! i was enjoying that

Alphabet Street was fake?!?! No!!

What's alphabet street?
Anyone for a link?

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_classics/3821556-alphabet-street-is-this-thread-3?pg=39

Just because it ended up in classics doesnt mean it was true. The op had 2 long sagas running under different names

It's lazy and stupid non-journalism, but this is a public website and it's effectively a share. It's not unethical in that sense. It was already in the public domain.

No won’t be the journalist. Most lifestyle journalists track Mumsnet for stories, Mumsnet ones do really well. I was a lifestyle journalist for a national for 5 years. Mumsnet stories weren’t in my realm (mainly covered health and real-life exclusives) but other women on my team did them often and they got a LOT of hits. Think in the hundred thousands.

There used to be a column in the DM "this week on Mumsnet". True fact.

The term "journalist" working overtime here

She's a reporter. No journalistic talent at all

I wonder if Miss Morgan wakes up in the morning full of self loathing at what she does for a living

Threads from here end up in news outlets all around the world most weeks, as do ones from reddit and whisper and I'm sure other places.

It's a totally normal thing

I doubt it, to be honest. Trawling Mumsnet for clickbait isn't the most exciting or important job in the world, but it's not unethical or exploitative.
