The Star's May Warren writes:
"Globe and Mail columnist Margaret Wente has again been accused of plagiarism and the newspaper’s editor-in-chief has apologized, saying her work 'fell short' of the paper’s standards.
"In a recent blog post, Ottawa-based artist Carol Wainio drew attention to Wente’s April 23 column 'for lifting an unattributed phrase from a piece by American scientist Jesse Ausubel.'
"
It also criticized Wente for leading with a similar anecdote about bears, paraphrasing two of his other observations without direct attribution and paraphrasing from a different article without linking to or citing the original author.
"Wente did not immediately reply to a request for comment from the Star. The online version of her column has been updated to include attribution, a link to the other article not previously cited and an editor’s note that apologizes to Ausubel."
