Mums net Threads on the Sun Website?

[JustBeenNosey]

So I do sometimes just sit here and read through these threads that people post and then when it is quiet at work, I do tend to have a look on the Sun website and there are stories about what have been posted on here..

Is this normal?

Are there journalists on here that take the stories and threads that people post and use them to make stories for the Sun?

I'm jus my abit confused 😂😂😂

Yeah totally normal for journalists these days. There's no money in news any more, plus the web demands fresh stories all the time to keep analytics looking healthy, so they just lift 'content' from social media. Anything that's posted publicly is fair game.

@ApplestheHare thanks for replying!

I was reading one of the stories on the Sun website, and I was thinking to myself 'I've read this somewhere before' 😂😂

Mumsnet threads are regularly discussed in the Irish media.

And on The Wright Stuff, which is now The Jeremy Vine Show
And in The Daily Mail

Its not just mumsnet, some MN users just like to think its a special case and ignore the manufactured outrage twitter threads, or listicles and quirky news stories that are lifted from Reddit et al, its not just the tabloids either, as ApplestheHare said its because of modern journalism and the need to churn out content for click through rates etc.

As an example.

Reddit picked up on this last week becoming a meme by friday night, its the state of online journalism.
