Who Writes this Stuff?

Kettering Evening Telegraph wins this week's journalism award for thoroughly researching their latest story on great crested newts...

"An exclusion zone for some of the newts – among the world’s rarest amphibians – could be set up in East Northamptonshire to preserve them while work is carried out to protect the area against extreme weather."

Emphasis mine.

Great crested newts may have experienced significant declines in population, but 'among the world's rarest amphibians'... Please.
