Peru: Journalist Doesn’t Recognize Blog Source · Global Voices
David Sasaki

Another case of a Latin American journalist getting a bit too much inspiration from the blogosphere without attribution. Unlike Global Voices contributing author Juan Arellano, the Peruvian daily La República published an article about the online discussions surrounding a hypothetical war between Peru and Chile. Desde el Tercer Piso writes “next time with recognition, muchachos.” Gran Combo Club adds [ES] “I think that Peruvian journalists have to learn to respect the blogosphere a little more.” Silvio goes on to bring up cases in which bloggers have corrected news reports in the United States and wonders if Peruvian bloggers will one day also have such influence. Roberto of El Morsa echoes the denouncement [ES] in “Journalist from La Republica plagiarizes a blog.”
