toe-touch
n.— «Visiting a scene just long enough to claim a dateline for an article based on somebody else’s uncredited reporting—let’s call it a “dateline toe-touch”—may not be as egregious as writing stories datelined Palestine, W.Va., without leaving your Brooklyn apartment, as Jayson Blair did.» —“Rick Bragg’s ‘Dateline Toe-Touch’” by Jack Shafer Slate May 23, 2003.
