Hartford Courant "Borrows" Local News Stories from Other Connecticut Newspapers

-- The Hartford Courant has been "borrowing" local news stories from other Connecticut newspapers, the Waterbury Republican-American reported on September 3, 2009:

"After cutting its newsroom by half because of the recession and sagging advertising revenue, The Hartford Courant found a new source for news — its competition — and found itself in a plagiarism scandal.

The episode began this summer when The Tribune Co.-owned newspaper began summarizing or rewriting other newspapers' stories and putting them on the Courant Web site. The company defended that as a legitimate practice."
