The Hartfort Courant got caught plagiarizing from its rivals:
In Fridayโs newspaper, the Courantโs CEO and publisher, Richard Graziano, acknowledged that the Courant had plagiarized its competitors. He apologized to readers in a note on the opinion page.
โWe are taking corrective action to prevent it from happening again,โ Graziano wrote.
Grazianoโs apology appeared to be referring to the fact that online stories landed in the newspaper without proper attribution.
In a written statement Friday, the Courant said it believes there is nothing wrong with the practice of posting those stories online.
โAggregation online is both legitimate, acceptable and a practice thatโs been embraced globally. Our mistake was attempting to carry it into print and we have stopped that,โ the paper said.
