Despite a plug from
Jim Romenesko's widely-read blog for overly serious journalists, not a single reporter has stepped up to collect Valleywag's
$100 prize for anyone willing to back
eWeek editor Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols' claim that "all reporters" cut and paste whole paragraphs from press releases into their articles without noting it to readers. We don't care that he's lazier than us, but we do find it creepy that Novell publicists are writing parts of
eWeek. No biggie, though: Valley workers already claim they knew it all along.
