WENN was responsible last night (5 Feb) for breaking the sad news about the death of former Troggs singer Reg Presley.
WENN CEO Lloyd Beiny received the news from friend of Presley and music biz PR guru Keith Altham and within minutes WENN’s reporting team had interviewed close family members and broke the story which was first picked up by the BBC then Sky News.
Beiny says, “I have very mixed feelings this morning – sad because we have lost a much-loved 60’s icon, but proud that WENN’s reporting team, led by Editorial Director Kevin Lewin, reacted speedily and consequently WENN was were the first news organisation to break the story worldwide.”
