Press release journalism

AP is reporting today that Elton John is making his music available for download later this month.

The tracks, more than 400 in all, will be available through Apple Inc.'s iTunes service from March 26 through April 30, and then will be made available on other download services.

Exciting!

Except not really.

Dame Peachtree's back catalog has been available on iTunes for as long as I can remember.
It seems that the AP writer re-printed the press release without checking.
