Stop the Steal

Kelly Bauer works for a small news outlet in Chicago called Block Club Chicago. It is a reader-supported nonprofit newsroom delivering neighborhood news to the people of Chi-Town.

Bauer was watching Nexstar’s WGN News when she heard Reporter Patrick Elwood repeat her story almost verbatim.

She took to social media to call him at the station out:

After Bauer called out WGN and Elwood it seems that they decided to do what they should have done in the first place.

As a outlet that has stories lifted from us all the time, we know exactly how Bauer feels.

It seems there are a number of people and outlets that like to just left other people’s work and act as if they did it themselves.
