Plagiarism costs a CNN News Editor her Job: She got fired

   I think our local media should also style up. Nowadays you cant read a whole newspaper without seeing copied stories and serial plagiarism. Plagiarism is a crime and it is punishable by the law. I wonder why some people find it hard to credit the source of what they write in the papers. Well, in other news...A CNN Journalist has lost her Job because of plagiarism. Marie-Louise Gumuchian was discovered to have been involved in multiple instances of plagiarism and forgery . 
    From CNN:
An unpublished story flagged last week during our editing process led to an internal investigation that uncovered other examples in about 50 published stories, and our investigation is ongoing.
We've terminated Gumuchian's employment with CNN, and have removed the instances of plagiarism found in her pieces. In some cases, we've chosen to delete an entire article.
Plagiarism remains to be a crime. There are many students who have been expelled and suspended from school because of thinking that they can Just get away with plagiarism. So all local Journalists should avoid plagiarism. Always quote your source    and give credit to the original owner .

  2. I always copy things from the internet but I have never been found. Plagiarism is not a crime. If you dont want your work to be copied from the internet, dont put it online

    1. Every author or anyone has a right to put his/her work online. Plagiarism remains to be a crime and many people keep losing their jobs or their education being stopped . Stop being tough headed and understand this or wait till it happens to you so that yor think skull will get some sense. In Western countries people have been sued and even been fined/blacklisted. I hope your thick headed skull gets some sense
