Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3315102, member: 9853"] For those of you who don't have access to this. Here's how the story was broken: This bit was written by Badel. It may not be his exact words because it will have been passed through a copy editor. Regardless, the key phrases are "set to formally approve" and "News Corp can reveal." This implies Badel has been told the majority shareholder is on board, and it's as good as done on the Broncos end. Neither Payne nor his agent are quoted. This is why I class it as "developing." [ATTACH type="full" alt="ScreenScreenshot 2021-08-26 at 07-23-19 Broncos approve multimillion-dollar Payne Haas deal.jpg"]14837[/ATTACH] This bit appeared on the front page. It will have been written by editorial staff. At first glance it appears misleading, but that depends on who you define as "Broncos." Whether this sleight of hand is deliberate or sloppy we don't know. [ATTACH type="full" alt="ScreenScreenshot 2021-08-26 at 07-22-46 Broncos Broncos NRL Team The Courier Mail.jpg"]14835[/ATTACH] This bit sits above the story, and confuses the framing in consecutive sentences, and again, was written by copy editors, not the journalist. Your guess is as good as mine how or why this happened.

Editorial sits between the journalist and the publication. He can complain, and maybe did, but it's out of his hands at this point. [/QUOTE]
