Here an other example of press use on a photo without the author's consent or even telling about credits, Alarab Online a major media core in the Arab world, has been using several photos from all over the web, I knew this photo for long and I was disgusted the way they use it with any professional procedure.
the photo belong to DECLAN MCCULLAGH as part of his Tunis street photography set.
we have seen a lot of this all around the Tunisian newspaper but i was never expecting to see the same stupid use in a so know worldwide paper.

The photo theme and aulity is far beyond awfyl, but as I see they didn't have much choice to give an award in aso narrow field. This bring the Tunisiain photojournalism gain down to the sewer, but who cares?
