    When I heard the news, I knew I was going to get the second TOLDJA email from Ms. Finke and I certainly did. Her information could be digested better if it wasn't written in a way that makes me think she believes she is curing cancer, when she's essentially involved in "The Player", w/out that whole murder.

    John, do you think the Chicago Tribune would link to a blogger if they transcribed comments before they did. I seriously doubt it. The MSM does not follow the same rules bloggers have created for themselves, why should bloggers show them the courtesy that they don't show bloggers?

    @Anthony De Rosa: BTW, I realize Finke doesn't follow basic blogging etiquette herself, my comment was more about the Chicago Tribune than about Finke.

    @Anthony De Rosa: Because it's the right thing to do? Also, it's not just about courtesy--it's about transparency and not passing off another's work as your own.

    @John Cook: The MSM does not show courtesy to bloggers, bloggers are much better at attribution than MSM is, when it comes to giving proper attribution to blogs.

    It's a HUGE deal when a blog doesn't attribute something by a MSM outlet, but rarely is it pointed out when a MSM outlet fails to give credit to a blogger, which is the norm rather than the exception.

    I agree with you, it IS the right thing to do, it IS about transparency, and it IS about not passing off another's work as your own, three things that MSM often forgets when it comes to attribution for work they got through bloggers.

    So is that "thousand bucks for a Nikki Finke picture" thing still going? I can't believe nobody ever won that.

    She loathes the idea of linking other bloggers. LOATHES it. She's the ultimate Darwinian blogger that way - in spite of her undoubtedly having benefited on more than one occasion from links from the likes of Matt Drudge.

    But, but, but, but Nikki Finke is a capital J JOURNALIST not a lowly lower case blogger! Of course she is. Someone should probably ask for their money back.

    Hmmm. I thought all those publications were a way for Nielsen to upsell research, etc. What happened? #hollywoodreporter

    @daveyjonesisdead: Probably the cost of publishing outweighed the benefits. Billboard is the victim of a dying music business, and THR and the Adweek books have always been a secondary ad buy in their fields, and secondary buys get cut in tough times. A shame, because the Adweek books used to be and in many ways still are editorially excellent. Billboard, except for the late Tim White's stuff, was always just about the charts. Good luck to my friends at 770 Broadway and in the regional offices. #hollywoodreporter

    Nicely done. I love how she's all "Gawker doesn't practice journalism" while you're...trying to get her on the record. #nikkifinke

    The thing that's a shame is that we get that scoops require publishing when all the information isn't in, or time enough to process it and come up with decent analysis.
    I don't think she'd lose much cred by following the strikethru standard that many blogs use for updated writing. In fact, Finke would gain quite a lot. #nikkifinke

    She's changed it again!
    THURSDAY 10:30 AM: Sony just announced that Michael Jackson’s This Is It opened Wednesday all around the world in 99 countries with a 1-day gross of $20.1 million. The studio's press statement called it "an extraordinary start" but, immediately, Hollywood considered that number disappointing after all the pre-sales hype surrounding the concert footage and its 2-week limited run. #nikkifinke
