The Facebook status of Tajana Sisgoreo, a Croatian volunteer in a refugee camp of Opatovac, helped media to sell many copies last week. More precisely, it boost the selling of those media which are normally involved in the mediaticexploitation of the refugee crisis. None of the media involved ever asked for permission to use her status, nor her name and profile picture. H-Alter examines this practice, concluding that irresponsible appropriation of social media contents represent an infringement of journalistic standards and a slippery road towards journalistic dilettantism.
