Gawker: Crowdsourcing a translation of GQ’s Putin article
September 7th, 2009Posted by Laura Oliver in Editors' pick, Press freedom and ethics
Last week Gawker asked readers to help it translate an article into Russian from Conde Nast’s GQ, which the publisher reportedly went to great lengths to prevent from being read in Russia, because it contained criticisms of Vladimir Putin.
A full translation of the article has been completed and the process behind it can be read about at this link.
Issues of copyright and press freedom arise from this – Journalism.co.uk will be contacting Gawker to find out more.
