The LA Times has a story today about the Trung Nguyen Photoshop incident.
The story broke on Red County/OC Blog and was developed and moved forward by the larger OC blogosphere.
Not that you’d know it from the LA Times article, which completely ignores that fact and give no credit to the blogs. Most LA Times readers will think the LAT got the scoop.
Read more about it here and here on Red County/OC Blog.
UPDATE (5:00 p.m.): I got off the phone a little while ago with Jeff Gottlieb, City Editor of the OC edition of the LA Times. Jeff was very gracious. He said it was the policy of the Times to give credit where it is due and that it was an omission in this case, for which he apologized.
That was a classy thing to do.

You’re going to be waiting for a long time Matt if you think the LA Times will get some journalistic integrity. It was a nice scoop.
