Fired Hartford Courant food writer did more than lift recipes

Hartford Courant
After freelance food writer Karen Mamone was fired, Harford Courant staffers asked: How do you plagiarize a recipe? Jenifer Frank, a Courant editor, tells ombud Karen Hunter: “What was plagiarized were the histories of recipes, nearly word for word. In some cases, the actual descriptions of the food or drink, again, word for word, and the entire structure of columns — which followed structurally, paragraph by paragraph, the websites that were being plagiarized.” Other ombudsman columns:
