I'm reminded of an article I submitted to a national magazine. The editor initially said it probably wasn't right for them but passed it to their sister publication, who then declined it on the grounds that 'they'd already got something similar in the pipeline from a staff writer'. That staff writer's piece was indeed very similar to mine. Indeed, it was word for word identical throughout, even down to a minor typo that neither the staff writer nor the editor had bothered to correct.
On another occasion, one of the journalists on the Sheffield 'Green Un' sports newspaper asked me to help find him some content for his weekly piece. He managed to fill an entire page of the paper with my writing but with his by-line appearing at the top of it!
