Nigerian-American author Nnedi Okorafor announced that her novel “Who Fears Death” has been optioned by HBO and is in early development as a TV series.
She said that George RR Martin, author of “Game of Thrones,” is set to be the executive producer of the show.
An online magazine Vice used the headline: “George R.R. Martin is adapting an African sci-fi novel for TV”.
The photo that accompanied the headline is a collage of George RR Martin’s photo and the cover of Nnedi’s book, but Nnedi Okorafor name was taken out.
The act has got huge backlash from the Writers’ community as well as other Twitter users.
A user who argued that Vice may have cropped the cover to make the photo collage fit, added that “it’s still stupid” and “crappy”.
The author of the article Lincoln Michel, claimed he had no hand in the headline and title, has also apologized for the mistake, adding that he has sent several messages to Vice to re-edit the post.
