Looks like photocolumn.org noticed the Wall Street Journal’s overly cavalier borrowing of Boston.com’s “The Big Picture” last Friday, beating Media Nation to the punch by three days. And now, photocolumn notes, the Journal’s version is gone. Wonder what happened?

So Dan, are you guilty of “thievery” from photocolumn.org, imitating them without initially crediting them, a full three days after they posted something?
As Gomer told Barney on the December 16, 1963 episode of the “Andy Griffith Show,” “Citizen’s arrest, citizen’s arrest!”
LA Times has had a Big Picture, too, but its about the Hollywood entertainment industry.

Yes. “The Big Picture” is not exactly a new name. What distinguished the WSJ was that it used the same name as the Globe for the same thing. But they’ve changed the name, it’s a good idea, so what the heck.
