Australian journalist plagiarizes via Internet
Plagarising stories off the net is easy but so is finding the copycat article and culpable journalist, reports Yahoo News. In what seems like another case of Jayson Blair-style drug-induced journalistic fraud, an Australian tabloid reporter has been found guilty of plagiarizing material from the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Glenn Mitchell of the Herald Sun in Melbourne was disciplined after using several passages from a two-part series on the history of Iraq, written by the Star Tribune's Eric Black in February. Black, a 25-year veteran of the Star Tribune, learned of the plagiarism when he discovered Mitchell's article in March on the History News Network Web site.
Mitchell's editor, John Trevorrow, has publicly apologized to Mitchell, saying that plagiarism is "emphatically unacceptable and the Herald Sun does not tolerate it." Trevorrow also explained that Mitchell was suffering from a "severe illness", unknown to the tabloid, and was taking medication that could have affected his judgment.
Aber ja natürlich,....jetzt sind die Medikamente schuld!
