Ghanaian Bloggers Must Learn To Credit Their Sources—Mr. KOK
20.12.2014 LISTEN

Ghanaian Broadcast Journalist, Blogger/Writer, Kofi Oppong Kyekyeku has advice his fellow Bloggers and Website Admins to give credit to the original source (s) of contents that they re-post on their blogs/websites.

Kofi Oppong Kyekyeku who is popularly known as the News Hunter or Mr. KOK, said it's unprofessional and unfair to copy someone's work without giving them credit as content author.

Mr. KOK who owns News Hunter Daily Magazine said, he will soon take action on anyone who infringe on his content rights or copy right terms.

He said, it's time to set the pace for others to follow.

The Blogger expressed his displeasure on Facebook saying "According to Lorelle VanFossen, Just because information is on the Internet does not mean it's “free” to take and steal. Information, images, graphics, designs, and photographs, all are protected under copyright laws and are known as intellectual property.

While it is nice to think that everything on the Internet is or should be free, for the most part it is. It is free to read, look at, wonder about, and even write about. It is not free to steal, make money from it, or use it as your own.

This post is a signal to all those who steal content from my blog 'News Hunter Daily Magazine' or other sources who duly credit my content, to advice themselves before we take action against them.

What prevents you from giving credit to the original source (s)?

I believe in professionalism

May the Good Lord Bless us all." said Mr. KOK.
