Posted – 9/10/2007 11:37:48 AM | show profile Since this site has so many seasoned writers, I ask your opinion on this method of writing an article for the Web (the article isn't exactly breaking news, more a background on a particular subject): Search other articles and sites on the Web, summarise most of what you find in your own words, MAYBE interview a couple of people for a few original quotes, recycle quotes found in other articles (not necessarily attributing them to the article you saw them in), and send in to the on-line news site. Is this the way of Web/citizen journalism? A Web writer recently told me this was the method used, and I was kind of taken aback. What do you guys think?
