“The focus on the Daily Mail has been a common internal complaint, insiders said. In one 36-hour period in June, 10 Daily Mail stories were assigned for rewrites in the Post’s breaking-news Slack channel, according to a count by one staffer. Those assignments included a story about an
Australian radio host’s reaction to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s new baby and a
British lotto winner who had died at 23, which was instead sourced to the Mirror. Because the Mail’s web stories are typically themselves aggregated, Post hits will often link back to the original source, obscuring how its interest was piqued.”
