Recently, cries of plagiarism have been cropping up at the Republic, signs they must be so desperate they are hiring inexperienced reporters (ahem - interns) who are plagiarizing to come up with content. The pay for reporters has become so low now that it is difficult to continue a print publication on the old model. Yet the Republic won't change. Respected Phoenix City Councilman Sal DiCiccio is the latest victim of this plagiarism, and he's sick and tired of it.
He writes,
Arizona
Republic bias and plagiarism: Arizona Republic reporter Dustin
Gardiner plagiarized material I produced. I raised this concern and
concerns of reporter bias last year-still no response. I even took the
step of meeting with their executive team last month. Gardiner took
work I produced from the Top 50/100 Phoenix Pensioners and then called
it his own under a different title. Work production their editor, in a
phone call acknowledged as mine prior to running their story. Will they
actually investigate these ethic charges and continue to use my
material or will they “Circle the Wagons." Additionally, here is one
social media post we presented at the executive team meeting at the
Republic showing bias. We presented other social media posts by this
reporter as well. This one just shows his thinking and his clear bias.
What reporter would post this and what organization that claims to be
“objective” would allow this from an embedded reporter? Does this type
of reporting by your reporter fall in line with your social media
policy? Arizona Republic: It has now been 1 month since our meeting,
when am I going to get a response? By the way I am not going to let
this go and will continue point out this clear bias with your reporting
until I receive a thought out response.
Sincerely,
Sal DiCiccio

Out hiking and passed a snake. Shockingly, it was not Sal DiCiccio.
