National Enquirer's Cost-Efficient Practice Of Recycling News Exposed

Donald Trump to testify in New York civil fraud trial

During a recent court session, defense attorney Emil Bove delved into the practices of the National Enquirer, focusing on its publication of stories sourced from other news outlets. The line of questioning revolved around the tabloid's coverage of political figures, particularly those who were adversaries of former President Donald Trump.

Bove probed ex-publisher David Pecker about the rationale behind the National Enquirer's strategy of repurposing content from other publications. Pecker acknowledged that this approach was driven by cost-efficiency and business considerations, confirming Bove's assertion.

The defense attorney highlighted the tabloid's reliance on a network of sources for its stories but pointed out that this was not the case with the articles in question. Pecker concurred with Bove's observation, indicating that the recycled content did not align with the typical sourcing practices of the National Enquirer.

The exchange shed light on the editorial decisions and operational dynamics at play within the tabloid industry. By exploring the motivations behind the National Enquirer's content recycling strategy, the court proceedings offered insights into the media landscape and the complexities of journalistic practices.
