Quoted: Katie Couric Speaks Out On The Recent Plagiarism At CBS Evening News
I’ll usually edit it or I’ll say I don’t feel comfortable with this or I don’t like the way this ends. So this was a very unfortunate incident because the person who did this is a lovely person, but clearly inexperienced about the tenets of basic journalism.

At this time in her career Couric will look for anyway to get press, including the Enquirer……and the press is always there to accomodate.

There was a post on the 360 blog the other day that was posted the first time with “360 blog producer” then changed to say posted by “Anderson Cooper”, now they have changed all the posts since last Monday to read “posted by CNN”. I think someone there screwed up the posting but I wonder now if they aren’t written by Anderson, that someone else does it.
We discussed it at length on our fan board The Andersphere.

Rosenthal at the Chicago Tribune is the first person to get a real quote from Couric since the plagairism issue. But her response seems tepid. Couric doesn’t apologize, either. The CBS producer who was fired, according to reports, is 32, received a bachelor’s from Wesleyan, a graduate degree from Columbia (which has a good journalism school, tho not sure about her degree), and has worked at CNN and the New York Times. She was also scheduled to teach a course on MediaBistro. Does that seem like a person who would be ‘inexperienced in the tenets of basic journalism’?
