Plagiarism at the Miami Herald

A correction:

A story about the Broward Sheriff’s Office’s semiannual awards ceremony, which appeared on Page 2B of the Broward edition on Feb. 6, included several paragraphs that should have been attributed to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Details and quotations from the Sun-Sentinel story, including the comments of civilian honoree John Clark, were used in The Herald’s report on the event without appropriate attribution. This is a violation of The Miami Herald’s editorial policies and is under internal review. Link

An editor’s note/apology is typically the method for revealing an incident of plagiarism. Let’s hope details of the internal review are made public.
