Remember, there's a special name for the type of reporting journalists do when they aren't just copying & pasting government and corporate press releases in their news stories: "investigative journalism."
Anything else is just reporting publicly-available information from some official source.
Notice that that's also the first line item to get slashed when budget-cuttin' time rolls around.

It's called reporting publicly-available information from multiple credible sources, and not reporting single-sourced PR releases. Also known as "journalism". I heard somewhere that it was essential to the nature of a free state.
