लेख चोरेको आरोपमा टाइम र सीएनएनका पत्रकार निलम्बित




टाइमको भर्खरैको आफ्नो स्तम्भमा उनले अर्कै लेखका कयौँ अनुच्छेदहरुको नक्कल गरेका थिए। 
 
जकारियाले शुक्रबार नै एक वक्तव्य निकालेर आफ्नो गल्ती स्वीकार्दै माफी मागेका छन्। 

टाइमका प्रवक्ता अलि जेलेन्कोले छुट्टै वक्व्यमा म्यागेजनिकले उनको माफी स्वीकार गरेको तर एक महिनाका लागि उनको स्तम्भ निलम्बन गरेको बताएको छ। त्यसपछि पनि थप समीक्षा हुने टाइमले जनाएको छ। 

जकरिया केही महिनाअघि नेपालमा पनि विवादित बनेका थिए। उनले आफ्नो पुस्तक द पोस्ट अमेरिकन वर्ल्डमा बुद्ध भारतमा जन्मिएको लेखेको भन्दै माफी माग्नुपर्ने माग उठेको थियो। यस्तो माग संसदको समितिमा समेत उठेको थियो।

Fareed Zakaria suspended from Time and CNN for plagiarising content

Well-known foreign affairs specialist apologises for error in apparently lifting a paragraph from a New Yorker story

Time magazine and CNN both suspended journalist Fareed Zakaria on Friday after he was caught plagiarising from the New Yorker in the latest scandal to hit the world of American journalism.

Zakaria, who writes columns for Time and hosts a CNN television show, had written an article for the magazine on the issue of gun control following the recent mass shootings in Colorado. A short version also appeared as a blog post on CNN's website.

However, several blogs, such as conservative media watchdog Newsbusters and the National Review online, spotted similarities between parts of Zakaria's column and a piece on the same topic in an April issue of the The New Yorker.

The paragraphs in question largely involved descriptions of historical events and context about gun control in America and do not seem anywhere near as serious as other famed plagiarists – such as Jayson Blair at the New York Times and Stephen Glass at the New Republic who made up entire quotes, people and incidents.

But as media websites picked up the story and asked Time for an official comment, Zakaria issued a statement and confessed to his error.

"Media reporters have pointed out that paragraphs in my Time column this week bear close similarities to paragraphs in Jill Lepore's essay in the April 23rd issue of The New Yorker. They are right. I made a terrible mistake. It is a serious lapse and one that is entirely my fault. I apologize unreservedly to her, to my editors at Time, and to my readers," Zakaria said.

Time then announced it was suspending the writer for a month and possibly longer.

"Time accepts Fareed's apology, but what he did violates our own standards for our columnists, which is that their work must not only be factual but original; their views must not only be their own but their words as well. As a result, we are suspending Fareed's column for a month, pending further review," said a statement by Time spokeswoman Ali Zelenko.

CNN also suspended Zakaria and did not put a time limit on it. "We have reviewed Fareed Zakaria's TIME column, for which he has apologized. He wrote a shorter blog post on CNN.com on the same issue which included similar unattributed excerpts. That blog post has been removed and CNN has suspended Fareed Zakaria while this matter is under review," the broadcaster said in a statement.

Indian-born Zakaria is one of the most familiar faces in American journalism. Before he joined Time he was a longstanding Newsweek writer, and he is also the host of the CNN show Fareed Zakaria GPS, which focuses on international issues. He has also written numerous books.

The incident is merely the latest in a long line of acts of plagiarism that have been spotted at all levels of American journalism.

The New Yorker itself was recently involved in a scandal after one of its newest hires, popular science writer Jonah Lehrer, "self-plagiarised" from some of his own earlier columns.

Lehrer survived that moment and kept his job but it was later revealed he had also made up some Bob Dylan quotes for his latest book. That title – Imagine – was then withdrawn from sale by his publisher and he was sacked from the New Yorker.

Lehrer joins a list of journalists who have fallen short of accepted good practice of late. Earlier this week Nevada Appeal columnist Bob Thomas was exposed for having apparently copied large parts of a widely circulated and 13-year-old internet essay on America's Founding Fathers and passed it off as his own column.

Last month the New Canaan News in Connecticut sacked reporter Paresh Jha for fabricating quotes and making up interviews in at least 25 different stories. In June the Wall Street Journal fired intern Liane Membis after it was discovered that she had also made up names and quotes for an article about the re-opening of a bridge in New York.

More questions raised about Fareed Zakaria’s work

Columnist and TV host Fareed Zakaria, who acknowledged plagiarizing parts of a magazine article last week, appears to have also published without attribution a passage from a 2005 book.

Zakaria’s 2008 book, “The Post-American World,” contains a quote from former Intel Corp. chief executive Andy Grove about the nation’s economic power. “America is in danger of following Europe down the tubes, and the worst part is that nobody knows it,” Grove says in Zakaria’s book. “They’re all in denial, patting themselves on the back as the Titanic heads straight for the iceberg full speed ahead.”

 

(Charles Sykes/AP) - Fareed Zakaria attending the 71st Annual Peabody Awards in New York.

The first edition of Zakaria’s book, which became a bestseller, makes no mention of the comment’s source, nor does a paperback version of “Post-American World” published in 2009.

In fact, Grove’s comment was published three years earlier in “Three Billion New Capitalists: The Great Shift of Power to the East,” by former Commerce Department official Clyde V. Prestowitz.

In an interview Monday, Prestowitz said Grove made the comment in an interview with him that was conducted while Prestowitz was researching his book. The quote appears in the book’s first chapter.

Prestowitz, who heads the Economic Strategy Institute, a Washington think tank, said he contacted Zakaria about the Grove quote when “Post-American World” was published four years ago but received no response. Prestowitz said he also mentioned the lack of attribution to his editor and agent, but he doesn’t know if they raised the issue with Zakaria or his publisher.

Zakaria finally acknowledged Prestowitz in the footnotes of “The Post-American World 2.0,” an updated and expanded version of his original book that was published last year. The footnote attributes part of the passage containing the comment to Thomas Friedman’s 2006 best-seller, “The World is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century.” It then notes, “Andy Grove’s statement is quoted in Clyde Prestowitz, ‘Three Billion New Capitalists....’”

Zakaria, in an interview Monday, defended the practice of not attributing quotes in a popular book. "As I write explicitly [in the book], this is not an academic work where everything has to be acknowledged and footnoted," his said. The book contains "hundreds" of comments and quotes that aren't attributed because doing so, in context, would "interrupt the flow for the reader," he said.

He compared his technique to other popular non-fiction authors. "Please look at other books in this genre and you will notice that I'm following standard practice," he said.

"I should not be judged by a standard that's not applied to everyone else," he added. "People are piling on with every grudge or vendetta. The charge is totally bogus."

Prestowitz was unmoved. “I think there should be an apology,” he said Monday. “I don’t want to unfairly level accusations [because] those of us who are writers know a lot of things can happen. But I feel I have a justifiable complaint. It kind of has been bugging me for a while.”

On Friday, Zakaria apologized to Time magazine, its readers and historian Jill Lepore for an Aug. 20 Time column on gun control that he acknowledged contained material taken without attribution from an article Lepore wrote in April for the New Yorker magazine. Time and CNN, which airs Zakaria’s weekly discussion program, both suspended him in the wake of his admission. Part of Zakaria’s column was published on CNN.com.

Zakaria also writes a separate column for The Washington Post. The newspaper said on Monday that his column will not appear this month.

I am a huge fan of Mr. Zakaria and very disappointed. Disappointed at his stupidity, didn't he know that the conservative arms were against him? They were the one who spotted the plagiarism; CNN should do more on checking the contents, rather than reacting to the issues..specially since this has already happened earlier.

Having said that, I'd continue to read his articles and watch his show. He might have plagiarized but hopefully he hasn't distorted the fact, or lied.....yet.

Just because this Indian is a liberal media favorite i refuse to sympathize him for this incident. This guy frequently talks out of his behind. I started ignoring this Indian since he started making stupid comments regards to India/Nepal relationship including Buddha being born in India. He said Buddha was born in India in Bill Mahr show i think.

Just one more incident of someone with Indian origin cheating and stealing.

Fareed Zakaria reinstated at CNN, Time after suspension

Time magazine and CNN said Thursday that they were reinstating journalist Fareed Zakaria after suspending him last week for plagiarism.

Time said in a statement that it believed Zakaria made an “unintentional error” in what was an “isolated incident” of plagiarism, after his Aug. 20 Time column on gun control took passages from an article in the New Yorker.



CNN said that after a thorough internal review of Zakaria’s work for his Sunday TV shows, blogs and documentaries, “we found nothing that merited continuing the suspension.”

“Zakaria has apologized for a journalistic lapse. CNN and Zakaria will work together to strengthen further the procedures for his show and blog,” said the cable news channel, adding that Zakaria’s public-
affairs program, “GPS,” will return Aug. 26.

Time said last week that it was suspending Zakaria for one month after the journalist issued a public apology for borrowing from an April New Yorker essay about gun control for his column.

CNN put no time limit on its suspension after Zakaria wrote a blog post on CNN.com that was similar to the Time column.

Zakaria studied at Yale and Harvard, was managing editor of Foreign Affairs magazine, then editor of Newsweek International for 10 years before moving to CNN in 2010.

His suspension followed a separate plagiarism scandal involving New Yorker staff writer Jonah Lehrer, who resigned July 30 after admitting he made up quotes from singer-songwriter Bob Dylan in his book “Imagine: How Creativity Works.”

Zakaria writes a separate column for The Washington Post. The column has been on vacation this month and is scheduled to resume in September.
