Hey Johnny Diaz…remember that time the Globe stole copy from “Boston’s dailies, weekly newspapers, local blogs, Boston Police Department reports, and Twitter feeds” and tried to pass it off as community reporting? It was called Your Town, and you got sued for it. Seems like it was enough of a “form of journalism” for y’all to try to make a buck.

The blogs in Boston may only “dream of supplanting the major newspaper websites in town, like Boston.com,” but there’s something to be said for contributing new content to the public record.

On the day your article was published (May 14), 61 percent of the “local news” on Boston.com was wire copy. If Boston.com’s local news feed was your only source of info that day, you would have missed:

>> HubArts.com: In tough times, state gives (last?) $12.4M in Cultural Facilities grants

>> Allston Brighton Community Blog: Harvard to buy another Allston property, and a pause

>> Blue Mass Group: The Boston City City Council Takes on the Foreclosure Crisis

>> Greentechmedia: GreenFuel Technologies Closing Down

>> Universal Hub: How much your signature is worth on a Boston candidate’s petition
