Get the cooksource mug.Related Words
To plagiarize without shame from an internet author, as Cooks Source online magazine did from Monica Gaudio. Cooks Source‘s October 2010 issue contained a copy of Gaudio's article "A Tale of Two Tarts," re-edited and named "As American As Apple Pie-Isn't."
The editor of Cooks Source, Judith Griggs, refused the Gaudio's request for an apology on Facebook, a printed apology in the magazine and $130 donation (which turns out to be about $0.10 per word of the original article) to be given to the Columbia School of Journalism.
