"Metro reporter Winnie Hu quoted a letter from Council Member Joann Ariola that described the car ban on Freedom Drive as 'a constant headache.' However, instead of linking to Streetsblog's coverage, she hyperlinked to the letter stored in Streetsblog's content management system, failing to credit the original reporting."
"After discovering the lack of credit, Streetsblog renamed the file in their CMS, resulting in a broken link for the Times. This incident underscores the ongoing tension between local journalism and larger media outlets regarding proper attribution."
The New York Times has a history of delaying coverage of local issues, often neglecting to credit Streetsblog for its reporting. Metro reporter Winnie Hu quoted a letter from Council Member Joann Ariola regarding a car ban in Forest Park but linked to the letter stored in Streetsblog's CMS instead of crediting Streetsblog directly. This incident highlights ongoing frustrations with the Times' lack of acknowledgment for local journalism. Streetsblog expressed willingness to share information if credited appropriately.
