Here’s a clear case of content-napping from MarketManila.com, and Inq7.net is apparently involved in the fiasco.
In the Philippine Daily Inquirer yesterday (page C4) and on their on-line website (both with a readership numbering in the millions on a local and global scale, compared with my modest base of 2-3,000 wonderful and loyal readers) an article by James Anthony R. Ceniza on Yema Balls features a stunning photograph of a yema sitting on an unwrapped pink cellophane wrapper.
Long story short, some James Anthony R. Ceniza took the “yema” recipe and picture from MarketManila.com, submitted it to Inquirer’s Family Recipe Contest without credit or notice to the author. James won the Php2,000 SM gift cheque prize but was in for a big surprise when several bloggers noticed that cunning similarities in the picture with that of MarketManila. James here must have searched for “yema” on Google Images and copied the very first one he saw.
Inq7.net removed the “picture of the yema” from the site but how about the printed ones?
Ok, bring in the yemas!
Although I think it’s more like the contributor’s fault than the Inquirer’s, I think the people at the Philippine Journalism Review must know about this.
