Plagiarize
Last fall Susan Youngwood, a journalism instructor at St. Michael’ College, phoned the offices of Columbia Journalism Review ( CJR) to pose a question. For an exercise in covering speeches, she had asked her students to listen to John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address and write a story about it. The sixteen students, mostly sophomores, complied with the assignment. However, two students, acting independently, took a short cut, plagiarized New York Times’ account of Kennedy’s speech, and submitted the Times’s words as their own.
The students received an F for the course, the maximum penalty the journalism department demands. But Youngwood wanted more. She wanted examples that told her students why plagiarism was bad, and looked to C JR for guidance. "I was curious about what happens on a professional level," she said. "If I am caught plagiarizing, what happens"
Her question was interesting. But the answers, like so many,
A. Deliver a speech
B. Report a speech
C. Find Kennedy’s address
D. Write a story of Kennedy’s
