Gadget blogs like Engadget and Gizmodo pride themselves on getting photos of new cell phones and MP3 players before anyone else — even the lightning-fast wire services. And to protect their scoops, they’ve taken to watermarking their photos. A wise practice. Reuters has apparently run, uncredited, a composite image, above, incorporating three watermarked photos from a post that ran last week on Engadget detailing Verizon Wireless’s new holiday line. Product photos are generally seen as fair game by gadget bloggers, of course — but for Reuters to carry Engadget’s watermark but not acknowledge the blog in any fashion seems not just ungracious but clueless.
