Today's plagiarism at WFMY part II

For the second time this morning, a WFMY staffer puts his name as the author of something he did not write. Although the article says, "Written by John Wright," it was mostly not. The story borrows heavily from a story written by Anne D'Innocenzio of the Associated Press and joins an exploding list of articles plagiarized by WFMY here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here.

Here is the article as it appeared on WFMY's website under Wright's byline, the highlighted portions are identical to D'Innocenssio's.

New York, NY -- After an overwhelming response to its free-haircut-for-kids program last month, J.C. Penney will be making the offer permanent every Sunday, starting Nov. 4.

Penney says 1.6 million children received free haircuts in August.

The decision underscores the extent of new CEO Ron Johnson's efforts to re-energize the chain and transform every aspect of its business, from pricing to a new shopping experience.[sic]

The move comes as the Plano, Tex.-based company grapples with two straight quarters of losses and severe sales drops as shoppers, accustomed to sales signs, have been turned off by a new pricing plan. The strategy, implemented Feb. 1, involves eliminating hundreds of sales events in favor of every day prices. [sic] Penney has also started to launch new branded shops within its stores.
