| However, I'm not sure if it's ok to use the text from press releases we haven't received directly without link to the source. You'd better clear this with Shelley, just in case :)
Just checking in about using a press release from the web, word for word, without a link back to the release. If you use the link, I think, it only lets you use a snippet and not the whole body of the release therefore making users go to the network press site to read the full release. I'm cool either way but have to wonder what difference it will make if users go to Variety/Deadline/et al vs the networks sites ... either way they're leaving TVMaze. The link tnt and I are discussing is below ...
If need be, the section of new news "When news is originally reported by us - for example when publishing a press release that was sent to us - don't supply a URL but place the full article content as body." may need to be tweaked slightly to remove "that was sent to us" or adding clarification about release we find ourselves.
