No Plagiarism in 'Fortune' Writer's 'Newsweek' Work
It doesn't look like Barney Gimbel will be the next Jayson Blair. Last week, Fortune was forced to publish an apology to readers after discovering that Gimbel, a precocious staff writer, had plagiarized from a New York Times Magazine story on Lukoil.
Although Gimbel quickly resigned, an in-house review of his work for Fortune turned up no other instances of plagiarism. And now I'm told that Newsweek, where Gimbel worked previously, has concluded its own review of Gimbel's articles and found nothing amiss, suggesting the lifting in his Lukoil story was a one-off.
Gimbel has yet to comment on the incident publicly. I tried to contact him via his Facebook account but haven't received a response.
