As a journalist who has ben taught to always attribute quotations and sources, I agree with Gruber. Ina's attribution to "an enthusiast site" is disingenuous, like those non-apology apologies that say "I am sorry you felt insulted" instead of "I am sorry I insulted you". His criticism of Fried for referencing the URL instead of the name of the blog is also spot on. Gruber also is right to make a distinction between writing that pretty much "consume(s) the story", and for that reason requires full attribution, as it will be read by many as a piece of text with no links, and his own teasers that give nothing away but a link to the real story, so attribution is less important. His "order of preference" listing of how to give attribution is an object lesson in digital journalism. I have forwarded this piece to my friends who teach in J-schools.
