Inclusion of press releases in stories...

'ello.

I have no problem with PH's reporting, it's what brings me to the site.

But i have noticed that you've started adding the full press release into your articles, which to be honest i think is very unecessary. Point in case being the Fiat 500 Twinair article.

There's a huge amount of press blurb there which we have to scroll past to get to the 'Add a comment' button (more annoying on the mobile site).

Is it possible to have an expanding panel with the PH software? I'm thinking along the lines of the way Worldcarfans do it (see Press Release expander)

(but with much better journalism, naturally)

I just think it'd be nice if we had the choice whether to see the 1500 words of marketing drivel that they churn out, or not...

I'll have a word with Chirs-R (the editor) when he is in the office tomorrow.
