Like most Singaporeans, we were getting our fix on the state of that pitch in The New Paper when we saw this:

Wait a minute.

Did FourFourTwo -- a football magazine -- just turn into a wire agency? Such agencies include Agence France-Presse, Associated Press and Reuters News. These companies sell news reports to news organisations such as The Straits Times and The New Paper.

But according to news.gov.sg, the football magazine is not included in the list of wire agencies.

Check out the same article on FourFourTwo's website.

We also did not know that an exclusive interview with FourFourTwo means that the interview will appear on both FourFourTwo and The New Paper.

Maybe The New Paper knows more than we do.

Maybe The New Paper should apologise for copying FourFourTwo.
