“‘I don’t put my pages for sale that way,’ Tulumello says. ‘There’s no big, concerted effort here.’
“Still, with regard to the wording in the story that directs people to an ad, ‘we probably could have done better about that,’ Tulumello admits.
“The fact is, too many articles in newspapers these days are little more than re-writes of press releases that were put out by businesses with a direct monetary interest in seeing an article published.”
