Telegraph misses picture exclusive to save paper

Interesting fallout from cutbacks over at Telegraph Towers. Monkey hears the Telegraph's Malcolm Moore was the first to get hold of a picture of Rafaelle Sollecito, the suspect in the Meredith Kercher murder case, in which he posed with a meat cleaver. The news desk was told about it but, er, didn't run it. After the pic appeared in other papers, Moore called up to ask why it hadn't run first in the Telegraph. The picture desk duly asked news editor Chris Evans - only to be told the news desk hadn't run it because they hadn't been given a hard copy of the picture. Apparently, to save money, the desks have stopped printing out photos. Of course there was nothing to stop the news desk monkeys looking at the picture on a computer. This is the multimedia, hub and spoke, Will Lewis's utopia, after all. Monkey hears the word "Neanderthals" was subsequently hurled at the news desk by picture desk colleagues. Boys, boys!
