They also translated the whole article from De Volkskrant and used the exact same images. So, plagiarism and theft, nice.

- Cyph0n 10y agoI highly doubt that plagiarism is taking place. I bet you that the original outlet simply gave AJ permission to use the article's content and template.
- JackFr 10y agoDo you have some special knowledge to indicate that this was done with permission? When reprinting it's common to include a 'with permission of' or 'originally published in' or especially 'translated from the original'. I might have missed it, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't there.
- frankydp 10y agoThere is a twitter post above of the author promoting the AJ story.
- Cyph0n 10y agoI've been watching and reading AJ (in both Arabic and English) for >10 years, and I've never seen them do something like this i.e. blatant plagiarism. Actually, I don't think any reputable news org would ever do that on purpose.
- tingol 10y agoMaybe because the same guy who wrote the article works for both the De Volkskrant and Al-Jazeera?
