Reno Newspaper Defends Reporting on Glider Accident
RENO NEWSPAPER DEFENDS REPORTING ON GLIDER ACCIDENT
August 30, 2006 Reno, Nevada: A spokesperson at the Reno Daily Review & Journal Dispatch defended charges of plagiarism today, arguing that material gathered by one of that city's most respected newspapers was in the public domain and thus did not necessarily require attribution. Said a senior editor, "Our reporters leave no stone unturned when investigating a major story like the recent glider and jet collision. When facts are made clear based on authoritative sources in the aviation community, we are under no obligation to waste time and money reverifying the same facts twelve times over, or seeking to determine which expert first made a statement on which all seem to agree." A reporter for that newspaper elaborated. "Used to, we hadda go out and shoot photos, find witnesses, interview people involved--IF we could find them and IF they would talk to us. But with the Internet, it's simple. Just find the right newsgroup or blog and everything you could possibly wanna know is already there--within a few hours. Like this glider thing yesterday. Who woulda thought to ask about this gizmo the glider guy was supposed to be using: a transporter or tricorder or something? Some guy on the Web said he mighta turned it off. But what do I know? I just lift what the experts say and it goes right into the article. That's not plagiarism, that's just good journalism. In the old days, the pilot woulda lawyered out and everyone woulda been No Comment. Now his buddies on rec.aviation.soaring tell us everything we wanna know and then some. Some o' these folks just talk and talk and talk. So why kill yourself tryin' to get an interview? With a PC and the Internet, gettin' facts and quotes is like shootin' fish in a barrel. Speakin' o' which, I got enough stuff off the glider guys in two hours today for the next three articles. So I'm goin' fishin'." Spokespersons at the paper refused comment on a rumored practice referred to as "chumming"; i.e., news outlets firing off quick or controversial headlines in the hopes of generating buzz on the Internet and further information that could be spun into subsequent articles. SoarPoint ;o) |

Looking at any of your past and present posts, a grade school might lighten you up, based on your grammar and vocabulary, and then all the events involving the US might, and I repeat just might make a bit of sense to you. I can believe that anyone would issue a moron like you a pilot license. Jacek Washington State |

I dunno; I happen to agree with Mal that the ARPA/DARPA Internet _is_ one of the greatest weapons the US Military ever released. And, I don't particulary see anything un-American about that statement. As a weapon for freedom of thought and expression, as a weapon against misinformation and disinformation, the Internet is unparalleled, and on occasion its military creators probably regret the hell out of letting everyone in the world get their hands on it. As John Gilmore wrote, "The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it." Bob K. Bob, With all do respect: internet was not invented by the US military. Not even close. Internet was developed by Englishman named Tim Berners-Lee, who I believe lives in London. He was even knighted by the Queen so, he is Sir Tim Berners-Lee. But this guy Mal is insinuating that the US military "released" the internet and if you buy to his story I don't know what to think of it. He is using every time he can, something against us. Every time. Don't take my word for it. Just look at his previous postings, you can run a search with his name in it and then you can read his uneducated, arrogant postings referring in derogatory terms to the US. So, in conclusion his referral to the US military as to " The greatest weapon USA military ever released to the world the Internet." is aimed that us again and it is a cheap shot. Sincerely, Jacek |

Sincerely, Jacek Jacek, With all DUE respect. The internet is a direct descendent of the ARPANET created in the early 1970's by the US 'advanced research projects agency', later the 'defence advanced research projects agency'. Tim Berners Lee created the HTML document format (web page format) and HTTP the transport protocol which allows selection of files from web servers by URL and carries the data for those files. Between them this is what people call the World Wide Web. The Internet was in existence nearly twenty years before the world wide web and it was started by the US military. I believe it was initially extended to US universities. In summary Mal might have intended it as a 'cheap' shot. But it was still the truth. To All, I received a several emails with a clarification for which I thank you. I was angry at the Mal character, and still am, and in the moment of spite I typed something which I remembered from the past without actually finding some more information about the subject. So, I apologize for my mistake, but not to Mal for he is taking a cheap shots in the present as well as in the past. Sincerely, Jacek Washington State |
