e/Toe touch

Information
has gloss	eng: A toe touch is an unethical journalistic practice by which a journalist makes a short, often momentary trip to a city in order to justify a dateline being added to a news story. The bulk of the reporting may be done via phone or Internet, or by a separate researcher who does not actually write the article. The dateline then misleadingly implies that the writer did the reporting on-site.
