I think this is part of the problem - Even though the jgarzik stated[1] that all articles should try their best to follow the definition of Notability[2] this basically boils down to whoever is reading the news and how it interprets it. This "subject to my own opinion" argument coupled with the absence of moderation leads the sub to its current state I guess.

In previous threads regarding the Press board (and there have been several), it was generally widely agreed upon that any news from a site which is solely dedicated to crypto news - CoinIdol, CoinTelegraph, CoinDesk - etc., did not constitute a notable press hit and should be removed. These sites are all click bait trash, and the quality of the articles from them is somewhere between very low and non-existent.

It was also widely agreed that any post consisting of just copy and pasting and slapping a link on the end should be deleted. If you can't be bothered to actually formulate your own opinion to stimulate discussion, then there is no need for your post; anyone who wants to read such sites can just visit the site in question - they don't need you to copy and paste every article to the Press board.

These are two very basic rules which, if adhered to, would clean up >90% of the spam on that board.
