ZimbabweGazette.com stole my article

I was thrilled to see that my post on 13 ways to make money in Zimbabwe was incorporated into last week’s Sunday Mail (see article here) and that they acknowledged this blog as the source. It would have been great if they had acknowledged me, but no hard feelings.

Then just this morning I saw that the Zimbabwe Gazette has made use of the same article and attributed it to their own “Chief Editor”. How wrong is that. I feel cheated and I hope that whoever Mr Chief Editor is reads this and amends this anomaly ASAP with the correct attribution.

You cannot just take people’s hard work and claim it as your own. That is flagrant theft. As a respected online paper, I expect better from you. But then again, I notice you also have some articles from other papers whose source you haven’t acknowledged.
