Journal Inquirer Sues Hartford Courant For Plagiarism

-- The New York Times reported on November 19, 2009:

"The Journal Inquirer of Manchester, Conn., says that The Courant copied The Journal Inquirer’s work in articles published last summer.

The suit, filed Wednesday in Connecticut Superior Court in Hartford, cites 11 Courant articles it says were largely taken from The Journal Inquirer in August and September, and The Journal Inquirer has cited other examples taken from other papers.

Online, The Courant credited many if not all of the articles to the original newspapers, Richard P. Weinstein, The Journal Inquirer’s lawyer, said.

But in print, the attribution was often dropped, and the byline of a Courant writer was added. The articles were rearranged and rewritten to some extent, but some phrases from the originals remained intact."
