JC -- I could not possibly disagree more with your position on this subject. Most reporting is derivative. 99% of the stories on your TV news broadcast come from newspapers. 99% of the stories in the newspaper come from trade publications or other print media, or the Internet. This whole idea that a journalist has to reveal where their story came from, is self-righteous fabricated morality. It doesn�t serve the reader, who couldn�t care less which outlet is winning this intra-media pissing match. I would agree that CNET shouldn�t have stolen your photos (is that even legal?), but they are under no obligation to reveal their sources � be they blogs or otherwise. Be the first to report. It will win you respect and possibly more readers. But in a competitive media environment, don�t expect other publications to give you credit.

Way to change the subject.

Plagiarism is an ethics violation, but "not crediting bloggers for stories" is not. The facts are the facts and if you found them first lucky you � maybe you�ll get more readers. But that doesn�t mean that I should credit you if I write on the same subject. If I use your exact words, yes. If I "borrow" a quote you scored during an interview, yes. But if you report facts and I verify and report them again, no, I don�t have to credit you.

Careful how you talk about that Variety feature. Don't give away the "knock-out punch." If you don't know what that is, ask your lawyer.
