                          1. So one writes a Medium post & then QZ & Vox both re-run it w/different images. Vox edits it. Both re-headline it.

                          Both link to the original. QZ strips out the author's bio. Though many Medium articles are CC, this particular original is not.

                        I guess this is like the new version of the race to post the latest John Oliver video?

                      Here's my question to voxdotcom and qz. What is the process for this? Does Medium provide a feed? Do you ask the author's permission?

                    Did voxdotcom give the original author approval over their edits? Did qz get ok on the headline change? Did they just assume it was CC?

                  Let me be explicit: Are voxdotcom and qz ripping content from Medium b/c they have an agreement with the author or the platform?
              1. …in reply to @Chronotope
                Or has someone at both voxdotcom & qz made the mistaken assumption that all Medium content is CC?

              And if voxdotcom & qz have a deal w/Medium, do all Medium authors have their licensing on Medium bypassed by this deal?
          1. …in reply to @Chronotope
            If they reached out to author, does author now give up their license to that piece of content to voxdotcom & qz? Does the author get paid?

      Amusing: thinkpiece Slate wrote to react to the essay doesn't even link to original essay, but to the qz repub. slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2016/08/22/quartz_essays_says_women_drink_because_patriarchy.html?cachebusterTimestamp=1472072255378

      Also, looks like the author didn't have control over the re-headlining in at least one case kricou/768512035764047872
