Daily Writer Commits Plagiarism
According to an Editor's Note in today's paper, an Arts Writer committed some serious copy-and-paste style plagiarism. Given this now-ironic entry, our previous plagiarism discussions, and the fact that the Daily is all over the fishbowl, I figured this was relevant to this site.

I did some googling. Here's what I came up with.
Here's an Image Socket mirror in case the ImageShack link goes down:
Plagiarism is bringing the world to an end.
Congrats Devika: You just got yourself fired and made the Daily look stupid. I don't know how you figured you could plagiarize four out of your seven articles (according to a search on the Daily website) and make it out unscathed.
Edit (3/26/07): See also this editor's note. Daga also plagiarized in four other articles. In other words, it seems that every article she wrote had plagiarism in it.

What's kind of interesting is that Daily staff didn't catch it initially. Someone reading the Of Montreal review online did. And then there was this huge ordeal in which every Daily higher-up had to attend to fire her and my friend Gabe was pissed because he had to miss 24.
That Of Montreal album sucks, by the way.
Thanks for the comment on Campus Byline. I added the link to your site to the post.
what more can we expect from the Daily?

Yeah, I mean, to me it seems it's just this girl's (really) stupid mistake and you can't really fault the Daily.
