Quick hits about plagiarism and fabrication
During my recent absence, there were a few notable incidents of plagiarism and fabrication. Here’s a quick round-up:
Fabricated interviews. The New Yorker carried a trio of pieces about an Italian journalist caught fabricating a surprisingly large amount of interviews with famous writers. And a German magazine also admitted that it had published a fabricated interview with Beyonce.
Plagiarism at the New York Times. The NYTPicker busted Times art Benjamin Genocchio critic for lifting from Wikipedia.
More Posner theft. Admitted serial plagiarist Gerald Posner is still making news. The Miami New Times uncovered more than 15 other examples of thievery.
