I think it's fairly common to take a wire article and change/update it with original reporting.

For example, the current main article on The Guardian's website is:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/aug/13/taliban-seize-...

which has a byline of:

"Luke Harding and agencies"

His journalistic ethics are very much open to question. This is the guy that published a book containing the secret password to Assange's encrypted document dump. While he was supposedly cooperating with Assange on behalf of the Guardian.
