"Complaining about someone re-writing reporting is kind of like kvetching about the rain: it’s pointless, because you’ll end up wet regardless of your protestations. Every journalist relies on other people’s work. I became a reporter because I wanted to find important ideas and share them. Whether that happens through my authorship, or someone’s summary, is less important to me than making sure the news is spread."
— Charles Duhigg oh the whole “NYT article’s traffic stolen by Forbes” kerfuffle from the weekend. For reference, the original article and Forbes’ bit by Kashmir Hill. Via Romenesko.
