However, pre-written articles are needed because you want to be as detailed as possible for a death post (probably around 20-30 minutes for a decent article all about their accomplishments/controversies). By that time, a competitor has probably already posted it, and they get the clicks. A quick one paragraph/two paragraph article that basically says "Fidel Castro died. R.I.P. him" would be a mess.
So trash media being trash as per usual. Disgusting. The people behind these companies will rot in hell
The BBC even has practise runs for the Queens death - a BBC journalist last year saw the rehearsal on an internal monitor and tweeted the practise as fact causing a minor panic.
I don't see anything wrong with pre-written articles. Of course, these people should also be careful to proofread and omit any annotations before publishing nnn. These famous old people are going to die soon and you want to be prepared.
