Churnalism

We're all pretty familiar with all the rubbish newspapers often churn out. As something of a warning to my fellow students I found this website www.churnalism.com that basically exposes lazy journalists who simply copy stories from press releases without adding much to it at all and then pass it off as their own work (something we would never do of course - I'm often amazed at how often wikipedia copied my homework).

On the site you type in the story you've read and it shows you how much of it was from a certain press release and therefore how much of their own input the journalism has included.
