AP is now saying the article was a “test article” (WTF?) that was “inadvertently” picked up by WBAY. Now, I’ve been a freelance writer/journalist for quite awhile, as have you, but I’ve never heard of writing “test articles” in advance, other than advance obituaries for celebrities. Have you? Furthermore, I Googled ‘”test article” journalism’ and came up with nada.”
