Last week, Matt Bramanti caught the Chron Editorial LiveJournalists cutting and pasting from an old New York Times story (without quotation marks).
Since the Editorial LiveJournalists reference the Times once, it’s not exactly plagiarism, but it is lazy and sloppy, and the work should have been attributed properly.
Maybe the Editorial LiveJournalists just decided what’s good enough for Rick Casey is good enough for them? Borderline plagiarism certainly does not seem to be the ideal state, though.
