Courtroom fights are becoming a habit
For the second time in less than a month, a fight broke out Monday in a Genesee County courtroom. It appears the only camera on hand belonged to ABC's affiliate, WJRT-TV, Channel 12. You can see the report and video here.
I guess the real question is this: Does channel 12 drive traffic to The Journal's Web site? I think not. But yes, many a time one of my stories would turn up on 12 without any credit.
Here's a legit question: Does channel 12 provide links to stories in The Flint Journal?
ReplyDeleteWell, to be fair many broadcast outlets have used Flint Journal articles as the source (or blatantly read word-for-word) without attribution.
ReplyDeleteMaybe that was your point.
