Boston Globe
Ron Borges is accused of lifting a portion of a football column written by the Tacoma News Tribune's
Mike Sando. (
Compare the columns.) "‘The Globe does not tolerate plagiarism," says editor
Martin Baron. "Extensive passages written by the Tacoma reporter were used verbatim in the column by Borges, and that is prohibited." The Boston Newspaper Guild says it "stands behind Ron and the high-quality work he has done for the Globe over the years." ||
Dan Shanoff: At the heart of Borges' suspension is the shadowy world of the "notes exchange."
