FREE PUBLICITY DEPARTMENT

Today's lucky website:

Kudos to one "Shan Saeed" for brilliantly identifying the forces driving US dollar hegemony (Reserve currency: will China be able to provide alternative?) and copying them from Asia Times Online (China vs the almighty dollar); and to Pakistan's Dawn for pasting them onto its website. Such copy-and-paste mastery is to be

applauded, especially as it seems that "Mr Saeed" has not resorted to crudely copying the whole article, but appears to have carefully selected every second paragraph. Either that, or some poor Dawn copy-editor was given the job of cutting Henry C K Liu's analysis by half. If so, it's a pity the Dawn editors did not spend a fraction of that time doing a Google search for a key phrase, which would have quickly identified Henry C K Liu as the author and ATol as the owner of the article.

Note to all participating publications:

If we inadvertently omit to give you your share of free publicity, please email us a link to any Asia Times Online article that is running on your website. And to those we already know about, please be patient, your turn is coming.

If you want to be removed from this list, please email us your contact details to receive our invoice for republishing fees.
