Attribution of CNN news stories: take it and make it your own

Within a post KXTV Reporter: ‘Plagiarism is Alive and Well in America’s Number One Media Market’ :


I’m told by my station management that our contract with CNN allows other stations to use our content as their own. Obviously WCBS took this authorization to the extreme. It may be permitted, but any journalist knows that it’s wrong.



This reminds one of the article in the Harvard Business Review with the section "Plagiarize with Pride."
