FCRC expands Nets b-ball clinic
Courier-Life
You might not be surprised that the Courier-Life newspaper basically reprinted a press release from Forest City Ratner as news. But you might be surprised to see that Courier-Life went one step further and was nice enough to correct a headline typo for FCR!
FCR:
Forest City Ratner Companies (FCRC) today announced that it is extending its free Nets basketball clinic series in Brooklyn and added an all–Brooklyn tournament in June. Each month for the next five months, FCRC and the Nets will be offering two free “Bringing It to Brooklyn” basketball clinics per month to elementary and junior high school students throughout Brooklyn. The clinics will culminate with an all-borough 1,000 kid tournament in June, featuring some of the next basketball stars of Brooklyn .

And when newspapers simply reprint corporate press releases, we all win.
