What is original reporting, anyway? For some, that would entail heading out into the proverbial field, conducting fact-finding research, interviewing potential sources, and shaping it all together into an informative piece that actively contributes to the daily news cycle.
For others, like for instance, Page Six, the definition of "original reporting" ranges widely, and includes everything from coming up with those blind-item brainteasers (OMG, some socialite's husband's brother might be gay!) to blatantly ripping off an item from last week's TVNewser, not crediting them in the least, and then slapping it all together with a quote from a "CBS News Flack."
So take note, children. Because it's just that easy to turn already-reported news into an "exclusive."
