Daily Beast executive editor Noah Shachtman accused New York Daily News columnist Shaun King of plagiarizing two paragraphs from the Daily Beast in his latest column. King and the News blamed the plagiarism on an "editor's error."
King's Tuesday column, about the death of Elliott Earl Williams, includes two paragraphs that are identical to an earlier story about Williams' death written by Daily Beast reporter Kate Briquelet. King's column even reproduces a typo — "the Tulsa sherriff office's appeared to disagree" — that originally appeared in Briquelet's story. The original published version of King's column does not mention the Daily Beast article.
"Our Kate Briquelet spent more than two months on this story. The idea that Shaun King magically had the idea to write about this immediately afterwards and publish a story coincidentally 11 hours after — it’s just ridiculous," Shachtman said.
King told POLITICO that the plagiarism was the result of an "editor's error", and forwarded an early draft of the column which he sent to Daily News editors, which put the two paragraphs in block quotes and attributed them to Briquelet.
The Daily news apologized for the lack of attribution in a tweet: "Editor's Note: @thedailybeast attribution was mistakenly removed by no fault of the columnist. We regret the error."
As a back and forth between King and various media reporters and editors broke out on Twitter Tuesday afternoon, another paragraph in an earlier article by King was posted to Twitter side by side with an identical paragraph from an earlier report published at FiveThirtyEight. King responded to CNN media reporter Dylan Byers by saying that in that case, too, an editor had removed an attribution, Byers reported on Twitter.
King told POLITICO that these are the only two instances he is aware of in which editors removed attribution from his columns, but that Daily News editors are currently reviewing all of his past columns to determine if it has happened other times. He also said that his editors have apologized profusely to him.
King said in a tweet that he does not review his columns after they are published.
Shachtman said that he was not satisfied with the Daily News' explanation for the incident involving the Daily Beast article.
"In the end, we are judged not by what’s in our raw copy but what goes up on the printed page or on a website. So while I appreciate that there may have been an effort to do attribution, ultimately we are judged by our results, not our intentions," he said.
He also said that this is not the first time that this has happened.
"We have noticed that when we write a certain kind of story that a story on the same topic will sometimes appear later on the Daily News," he said.
Through a spokeswoman, Daily News editor in chief Jim Rich declined to comment.
