It is common practice in the blogging world to link to the source of your news. I do it on every news article that isn’t an exclusive (that’s 100% of them) and I’m proud to do it. I know that the various sites I found this news on worked hard to get an exclusive and I know they deserve recognition for it. Its funny how a blogger who’s only been blogging for a couple of years seems to have more scruples then a couple of the giants of media giants.

These media giants Variety and The Hollywood Reporter have been around for years, both originally print only media they have been forced to and successfully adapted to the internet. However they haven’t adapted their methods of journalism. Scooping machine Latino Review has reported that after the latest lack of source naming by Variety and The Hollywood Reporter they and several other respected sites have decided to no longer list Variety and The Hollywood Reporter as sources for any news items they may scoop. While I can’t help but think this is just sinking to their level of old school journalism I also can’t think of another way to make them think about changing their ways. So from now on this site will no longer link to or source Variety or The Hollywood Reporter.

You can read the full story at Latino Review, Collider, and Hollywood Elsewhere.

Fight the man, man.
