Gerald Posner (author of "Case Closed") quits his job after boss finds "apparent plagiarism"

[ohiodemocratic]

The Miami Herald reports:

"Amid additional allegations of plagiarism, journalist and South Beach resident Gerald Posner announced via his blog and Twitter that he has resigned from The Daily Beast, the year-old web news publication co-founded by Tina Brown.

Posner wrote that his boss, Daily Beast Managing Editor Edward Felsenthal, called him on Wednesday to say an internal investigation had "uncovered more instances'' of "apparent plagiarism.''

"I instantly offered my resignation and Edward accepted,'' Posner posted on his blog, geraldposner.blogspot.com . Posner is The Daily Beast's chief investigative journalist.

Jack Shafer, a writer for Slate.com reported last week that Posner had lifted five sentences from a Miami Herald article about the battle over the late Ben Novack Jr.'s estate. On Monday, Shafer reported more instances of plagiarism by Posner from a Miami Herald blog, a Miami Herald editorial, Texas Lawyer magazine and a healthcare journalism blog."
