Just to counterbalance the “bloggers are parasites on our work” meme that seems prevalent in some publishing circles:

\> On Friday, I broke a tasty story about a woman suing Google, claiming bad directions caused her to get hit by a vehicle. Today, I discover our story is everywhere, often with no attribution. Come along and watch how the mainstream media, which often claims bloggers rip it off, does a little stealing of its own. 

It’s a compelling story of \[the shameless arrogance and disrespect\](http://daggle.com/mainstream-media-stole-news-story-credit-1906) some papers treat people breaking stories – and how calling them out can have an impact. 

Daniel Bennett has a \[good, analytical take on the situation\](http://mediatingconflict.blogspot.com/2010/06/on-traditional-media-stealing-stories.html).
