NYT discovers Japanese cell phones
A recent NYT article about Japanese cell phones pretty much rehashes what I wrote about Japanese cell phones on Wired.com and Gizmodo a year ago. Interesting trend, where big media comes out with stories about topics that bloggers have written about a while back, except they add analyst quotes, industry data, and flashy headlines to make it into a "serious news article." Sometimes it even happens at the same publication.

I actually saw the author looking for "experts" on the Shankman list serve to "help a reporter. They should have just called you.

I'm a big fan of Lisa's TOKYO MANGO but this time I don't understand the meaning of this post. Maybe it's because English is not my mother toungue but, after reading both the old post on Gizmodo and the Hiroko Tabuchi's NYT article, I can't find where is the plagiarism...
ps even if you are a blogger adding "industry data" is always a good idea to back up your opinions...
