When journalists run out of things to say

Why are there two articles right next to each other with the same content?



Both of them deal with the same topic. They describe how the sex life of some people goes bad. Mentioned in both articles: How work affects the stress level, how a romantic weekend can save a relationship and how talking honestly to each other can help.

It still seems to me that a machine produces all these articles. One is categorised as "partnership", the other one as "sexuality". Perhaps that is the reason why these articles, who belong to the upper category "lifestyle", say the same things. Or maybe two authors worked on these articles, got the same information and published it in their respective categories. I don't know. But it's pretty useless. Even the pictures say the same thing. And they are always taken from a source that takes these pictures to display a specific setting or mood or situation. Maybe it really comes from a machine, all of it.
