Times of India Plagiarizes Again
Times of India seems to be in regular habit plagiarizing. This time it is a photograph by Shrinidhi in their Chennai supplement.
I’d clicked this photo few months back at Marina beach and had uploaded it to my blog. Some users have referred to this image in some forum discussions also and incidently, if you search for Chennai police car in google, this image comes first.
I also feel that if your image comes on the first page of Google images, the chances of it getting lifted are more!
And fellow contributor Jo has complied a list of plagiarism incidents by media.

ummm..i wont be surprised..its such an easy way out for the media to just search and pick what they find ..sad, but unprofessional
Just like last time, I'd recommend writing to rival publications at once, with proof.
Thanks a lot Mridula for the support. I'm trying to contact correct person in the newspaper. Will keep you posted.
This is terrible !! Being a leading newspaper in the country how could they be so irrisponsible !!!??
Lakshmi, but Times of India has been really bad or so it seems.
Sidhu I am sure Shrinidhi is exploring all options.
Shrinidhi I hope something positive comes out of it.
Kusum this is the second incident in the last month itself involving Times of India.
