Plagiarized (and ignored) by the NYTimes, day 37

Last month, the NYTimes republished, on the web and in print, an illustration I created for this weblog without permission or attribution. The next day, I emailed their corrections page and 'public editor'.

There's been no response or correction. Apparently the NYTimes itself recognizes it has a responsiveness problem...

Editor and Publisher: 'N.Y. Times' Releases Key Internal Report

As for accessibility: 'The Times makes it harder than any other major American newspaper for readers to reach a responsible human being,' the committee's 16-page report said. It also noted that the paper printed 3,200 corrections last year.

Perhaps I need to be more direct in my correspondence.
