Plagiarism at the Wall Street Journal Europe

Thanks for being a regular reader. You can check out the award-winning Regret the Error book here.

The Wall Street Journal published this correction yesterday:

Two “Agenda” columns by Bill Jamieson, executive editor of the Scotsman, that appeared in The Wall Street Journal Europe and on WSJ.com contained material copied from other sources that Mr. Jamieson failed to credit. A column published July 20 on the European Union’s External Action Service and a column published July 23 on European bank stress tests contained certain passages and quotes that were reported by Reuters, the Sunday Telegraph and euobserver.com. Mr. Jamieson’s “Agenda” columns have been removed from the Journal’s websites, and his relationship with the Journal has been terminated. Link

Jamieson’s columns also appeared in the Scotsman, and you can find his offending July 20 column on that paper’s website. It includes no reference to plagiarism.
