Copy Cats

The New York Times launched "Lens" today and I couldn't help but notice the striking similarity between their post about David Burnett's photos of Bob Marley and a post by NPR's Picture Show this past March.

Lens is the photojournalism blog of The New York Times, presenting the most interesting visual and multimedia reporting — photographs, videos and slide shows. A showcase for Times photographers, it also seeks to highlight the best work of other newspapers, magazines and news and picture agencies; in print, in books, in galleries, in museums and from around the Web. And it will draw on The Times's own pictorial archive, numbering in the millions of images and going back to the early 20th century.
