Thanks for reprinting the press release. I would have though a byline at the top would have been justified if you’d added any information or analysis – ie:what’s been the internal reaction, tensions, sackings, future possible plans … you know the sort of things that justify a byline!
Otherwise I think it is a form of plagiarism
