Over 60 cases and counting...their release just now.
CNN has discovered multiple instances of plagiarism by Marie-Louise
Gumuchian, a former CNN news editor. She wrote frequently about
international news, writing and reporting about Africa, Europe, and the
Middle East from our London bureau.
An unpublished story
flagged last week during our editing process led to an internal
investigation that uncovered other examples in about 50 published
stories, and our investigation is ongoing.
We've terminated
Gumuchian's employment with CNN, and have removed the instances of
plagiarism found in her pieces. In some cases, we've chosen to delete an
entire article.
Trust, integrity and
simply giving credit where it's due are among the tenets of journalism
we hold dear, and we regret that we published material that did not
reflect those essential standards.
We also believe in letting audiences know when we've remedied situations that threaten to compromise that trust.
