New York Times probing drama critic over alleged plagiarism

Written By Unknown on Rabu, 30 Juli 2014 | 20.50

The New York Times is investigating claims that drama critic Carol Vogel lifted a paragraph from Wikipedia on Italian artist Piero di Cosimo.

A Times spokesman said that the paper "is looking in to it." Vogel did not return a call to her work number seeking comment on the accusation, which was first reported by Mediabistro's FishBowl.

Vogel is accused of lifting a Wikipedia passage — with a few minor word changes — on the artist's eccentricities for her lede on a July 24 item, "A Renaissance Master Finally Gets a Showcase."

It remains to be seen if this was part of a larger pattern or a one-off lapse along the lines of former Time editor-at-large Fareed Zakaria, who was temporarily suspended for an instance of plagiarism.

The news comes only days after BuzzMedia fired political editor Benny Johnson for what it found to be dozens of examples of plagiarism from Wikipedia and Yahoo! Answers, among other sources.

BuzzFeed editor Ben Smith said the company found 41 instances of plagiarism, which he said began to come to light in a series of postings on Twitter.

"After carefully reviewing more than 500 of Benny's posts, we have found 41 instances of sentences or phrases copied word for word from other sites. Benny is a friend, colleague, and, at his best, a creative force, but we had no choice other than letting him go.

"We owe you, our readers, an apology. This plagiarism is a breach of our fundamental responsibility to be honest with you — in this case, about who wrote the words on our site."
