"Indicator couldn’t verify the claims about DNN’s audience. But I found that DNN has published more than 350,000 episodes since January 23. That's roughly 11,000 episodes a day — or more than a year of content if you played it back-to-back.
On LinkedIn, DNN’s creator Corey Cambridge describes DNN as “an audio first global-local news network built for the way people actually consume news today,” adding that “we deliver fast, reliable local updates through short-form podcasts and live audio—making it easy to stay informed without the noise.”
Indicator analyzed more than 100 episodes across seven DNN shows and found that they often reused the same facts, structure and even phrases as articles from media outlets such as local affiliates of Fox and NBC News, TechCrunch, Toronto Star, The Verge and WRAL. The episodes often published mere minutes after what seemed to be their source material.
Adair said DNN is “taking news and feature stories published by hard-working journalists and repackaging it for what appears to be a money-making enterprise. I consider that plagiarism. It definitely would violate any reasonable company’s ethics policy.”"
