Journalistic level on the decline?

I was surprised to see CN hired the service of a translator to write articles? C'mon guys, I'm used to a higher level of writing from CN. All this person does is relaying news items she gets elsewhere and while she does, takes all credits. Just look at her twitter account, it exist solely to serve, well, her profile. This isn't a journalist and certainly not a skilled writer. I haven't seen an original article by this person (it's a woman, right?). Velonews and Velonation didn't turn her down for no reason. Dissappointing. Hope you give skilled writers or talented newcomers a chance next time. CN shouldn't be launching platform for someone's ego.

A fine example of José Been questionable level. CN, why do you hire such dabbler when there's dozens of skilled and talented writers desperately trying to find a job?

It's simply not true and the spin off there's now all these rumours floating around based on this article. Well done.

To raise a further question, this so called writer doesn't WRITE stories, she RELAYS stories, as she freely admitted. Not sure whether picture is visable.

It's simply not true and the spin off there's now all these argumented news stories floating around based on this article. Well done.

To raise a further question, this so called writer doesn't WRITE stories, she RELAYS stories, without even checking with the team or other sources as she freely admitted. It's tabloid level, something I am not used to from CN.
