The news agents[edit]

Hello, I noticed, looking at this page, that you have done a great deal of editing thereon and have, many times, added information which employs references to outlets that are themselves part of the Global media empire. As I am sure you must realise, none of those can be RS's, because they are self-promotion. I have deleted a lot of that stuff, but the article had heaps of it, so I have added the advert template to the top of the page. It is important to edit pages only in accordance with Wikipedia guidelines. Boscaswell talk 03:56, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Boscaswell: I wasn't aware of it reading like an advertisement, and apart from the Global Awards section (which I guess counts as an inhouse award), I could only find a couple of references from LBC (which is a Global subsidiary). But whatever the case, I've sent it here as it seems like it could do with a full copyedit. This is Paul (talk) 14:28, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pinging! Not many do that as a matter of course. I made an error: looking more deeply, I believe that RadioToday is not after all part of the Global Empire. But looking at this [1] it’s fairly clear that they just regurgitate whatever they’re told (press releases), say it again, and call that reporting. And a Wikipedia article which merely repeats the key points of various press releases is going to read like an advert, don’t you think? Anyway, all the best.
