Reuters AlertNet är en bra hub för nyheter om tsunamin men också om alla de andra tragidier som sker i världen året om. Mycket av informationen kommer från humanitära organisationerna själva, vilket tillsammans men Reuters egna nyheter ger en bra och relativt balanserad bild av händelserna.

En av de störste plagiatskandaler de senaste tiderna var Jayson Blair vid New York Times. Blair, en ung svart (ja, det har betydelse) reporter fick snabt stjärnstatus, men det visade sig att han hade dels plagierat andras material, dels fabricerat saker rakt av.

Hitta plagiat
Plagierande har ökat i.o.m Internet. Copyscape är en bra tjänst som hjälper dig att hitta dina ord/bild på andras sajter.
Skriv in URL:n till din ursprungssajt och den letar efter kopierna.
Den funkar rätt väll, men eftersom den använder sig av Google är den begränsat till det som Google redan har samlat in.
