Daily Mail tops list of Australia’s most ‘prolific’ metro journalists
The Daily Mail’s Caleb Taylor has topped the list of Australia’s most prolific journalists, according to data provided by real-time media monitoring company Streem.
Streem examined a year’s worth of data to find the most commonly occurring bylines on metropolitan or national publications.
The Daily Mail topped the list
I think you will find the reason the Daily Mail’s reporters are so ‘prolific’ is because they pretty much copy and paste their stories from every other news source…so congratulations Daily Mail, your hacks are the most prolific plagiarists in the business.
Let me guess…. you were made redundant in the past 2 months?
Not at all, let me guess – you work for the Daily Mail?
Ah yes, they must have been made redundant. Because journalists who still have jobs have no problem with Daily Mail hacks stealing their work?
Clicked on this story thinking there might be some industry analysis or understanding of what underpins the “prolific” writing of the Daily Mail – it’s a parasitic publication that basically requires journos to rip off their betters at legitimate papers. Shame Mumbrella didn’t bring any of that to the party.
Pointless data, Daily Mail content not result of journalism, it’s control C, control V.
Very interesting list. I would hazard a guess that there is a layer of even more prolific journalists working at suburban/regional and even trade level.
Most definitely. As the editor a trade publication, I wrote and published 913 articles last calendar year (no byline though!)
Absolutely – local news journalists are incredibly prolific.
Subs’ error. You put the inverted commas around ‘prolific’, rather than ‘journalists’.
I guess it depends how you define journalism. Which I wouldn’t think includes plagiarising reputable news sites and writing articles based on instagram posts.
Absolute rubbish. David Scutt at Business Insider is easily way ahead … 7,542 published articles in 3 years and 10 months
My own output is just behind that
The Top 10 should all ask for pay rises STAT. You now have hard evidence of your output. God help all the journos that didn’t make the list. Your life is about to become hell. Oh, digital media, always a laugh a minute till you collapse at your desk. #typefaster
How many of the DailyMail stories are original stories and not blatant ripoffs of other journos work?
Did you count journos from country newspapers or community newspapers? I’d reckon 3 stories a day would be a light workload for many of them!
Does Caleb Taylor exist? Doesn’t seem to have any online profile other than Daily Mail “stories”. Possibly the nom de plume of a plagiarism algorithm??
