| Narco blogger faces charges of plagiarism |

| For those historically inclined, "Lucy" was also the name of a network of Soviet spies inside the German High Command, who kept Stalin apprised of the Germans' every move during WWII. This story has a lot of Mexican journalists up in arms, as much as a journalist could be anyway. The United States news portal Fronteras and a group of Mexican journalists, who asked to remain anonymous for safety reasons, downplayed the work carried out by "Lucy", the purported administrator of Blog del Narco who just last Thursday, the 16th, announced her departure from the country after the disappearance of one of her co-workers, a systems analyst. In its opinion, the administrator of the popular site -- which stopped working on May 1 after the arrest of Ines Coronel, the father-in-law of Joaquin El Chapo Guzman -- has for three years been engaged in copying and pasting reporters' or newspapers' information without giving them their corresponding credit. |
