CNN sacks editor who plagiarized 50+ articles
This is the second high level editor canned in 20 months for plagiarism. Fareed Zakaria was sent packing in August, 2012 by CNN for plagiarism.Miss Marie-Louise Gumuchian has been in the news business for almost 10 years: Here is her profile from Reuters. In an editor's note quietly posted Friday morning, CNN announced that Marie-Louise Gumuchian, a former CNN News editor, who mostly covered international affairs, plagiarized at least 50 published stories. Apparently she was caught after an internal editing process caught an instance of plagiarism before the story was published. This led to an internal investigation that uncovered at least 50 other instances and to Gumuchian's termination: CNN has discovered multiple instances of plagiarism by Marie-Louise Gumuchian, a former CNN news editor. She wrote frequently about international news, writing and reporting about Africa, Europe, and the Middle East from our London bureau. An unpublished story flagged last week during our editing process led to an internal investigation that uncovered other examples in about 50 published stories, and our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.
