🤣oh the sorry state of affairs (pun intended)🤣 when we got a barrage of media reports speculating KD-KTs equation etc.. some of us were saying how its a chain reaction and one report just instigated others where even the phrases sounded same.. epic was when I opened TOI page this morning🤣 they are taking pride in a fallacy.. oh well 😆 in the meantime only popularizing the actors.. or does it mean this story is such a hot cake😆 ... opinions anyone? the TOI article and link.. I cldnt help share it as I had a big laugh at the sad state of journalism.. tht too gossip column😆

Imitation is the best form of flattery
And yes, copycat Hindustan Times, we're flattered!
Here's the thing about our stories. Even the competition wants to use them verbatim. Word for word. Byline included.
Don't take our word for it. Hindustan Times has actually used a story from BT's television page. The story written by Neha Maheshwri titled 'More than friends' appeared in Bombay Timeson December 9. The same piece has appeared with her byline intact in HT on December 11.
"Plagiarism is one of journalism's unforgivable sins." That's a quote from The Washington Post's internal code of standards and ethics. "Attribution of material from other newspapers and other media must be total," the code states. The rival paper has, of course, taken that very seriously and even given credit to the BT reporter, clearly that is a faux pas on their part, but we aren't complaining.
Meanwhile the BT writer Neha Maheshwri has been fending off calls from her friends and family, who've been inquiring when she moved to the rival paper after seeing her name in HT Cafe, a supplement of Hindustan Times.
