it's extremely likely the journalist just lifted it from the Press Release from GMP.
So not a journalist then. Someone who can copy and paste into an html template. Something primary school children can do these days.
I truly lament the loss of definition and the flattening of the hierarchy of this modern age. Too many people can acquire a job title when they’re not remotely up to the task of what it historically requires, or it has been devalued to be a nothing term.
To me, the term “journalist” is a nothing term. It means someone who can report on tweets and embed them into their articles. The term “proper journalist” is now required to indicate someone who actually does the job properly. I’m fed up with having to add adjectives to nouns to make it clear what I am talking about.
Proper journalist
Actual doctor
Real woman
Biological female
It's so depressing.
