Rare? I've never heard of it happening before. And I don't think this is a syndication issue. This is an article written by a Washington Post reporter that was first printed in the Post on December 30 or 31 (I'd have to go find the issue again to be sure) and then reprinted by that same publication a little over a week later.
I'm trying to imagine the business and/or editorial rationale behind this decision. We're they having trouble filling the Metro section this past Sunday? Did they think they could fill some column inches of the paper with recycled pap and their readership wouldn't notice?
Or have I missed something my whole life? Do newspapers commonly reprint articles word for wrote in separate editions of the paper?
