I could have made myself clearer, I am talking about "damaging insider information". Publishing already published information isn't exactly news.

In this case, the alleged accounting fraud mentioned in the FT article was insider information.

It depends where the knowledge came from - did it come from an insider, or was the accounting fraud discovered by poring over public records?
