This archived screenshot preserves the Daily Mail exclusive “Get off my land! Queen’s banker in battle to close Chaucer’s footpath”, based on Michael Leidig’s reporting after his father repeatedly urged him to cover a local access dispute involving woodland paths near Canterbury linked to the historic Pilgrims’ Way. The screenshot is significant because it records a clear example of original agency journalism: Leidig sold the story to the Mail as an exclusive, took the photographs himself, and filed the copy using quotes and local knowledge supplied through his father’s involvement in the dispute. The item matters in the wider evidence chain because it helps show the kind of reporting work that can sit behind agency-supplied national stories — personal contacts, local knowledge, original photographs, direct quotes and a sale to a major publication — even where the public record may not fully explain how the story was found, developed and placed. Read alongside the wider material on agency attribution and BuzzFeed’s misunderstanding of how British agency journalism works, this item helps document the practical reality of independent reporting before it reaches a national newspaper audience.
