ROMENESKO IS NO LONGER ROMENESKO: Romenesko Leaves Poynter After Conflict Over Quotes. “Jim Romenesko, the blogger who developed a large and loyal following by chronicling and summarizing news in the media world, quit his post on Thursday evening after a bizarre spat with the institute that hosts his writing. . . . Many journalists saw the aggregating Mr. Romenesko did in his early-morning posts as the best real estate in American journalism to promote their work. They would send him links to their stories and encourage him to summarize them. So the idea that anyone could think he was somehow trying to take credit for work that wasn’t his rang false.”

It does seem to be bizarre. Quotation marks are nice, but so long as people understand a quotation is a quotation, only a priggish idiot would insist on quotation marks anyway.
