San Francisco Examiner blogger Sharon Gray was caught by San Francisco Weekly gumshoe Matt Smith cutting and pasting entire paragraphs from other websites without attribution. "They're blogs. They don't get edited," Examiner executive editor Jim Pimentel responded. "We don't give any direction to people on what to write in their blogs. And that's standard operating procedure." Gray's blog, which she told Smith she'd hoped to use to promote books she planned to write, has since disappeared. Smith says Gray wasn't so much a plagiarist as she was unclear on the concept. If only she'd learned to reuse press releases instead.
