Na sequência da recente polémica sobre o plágio no Jornalismo, o provedor do ouvinte da norte-americana National Public Radio, Jeffrey Dvorkin, explica, de forma muito clara, porque (sobretudo nos tempos que correm) 'o crime não compensa'.
Excerto:

"A more important question is if a little plagiarism makes the story sound better, and it doesn't REALLY distort the story, and no one is the wiser, why not do it?

Because it's a lie that ultimately damages the bond of trust that must exist between journalists and the listeners.

These questionable practices cause the listeners and viewers to doubt the veracity of all the reporting. If the reliability of the journalism is in doubt, then reporting has no function".

Obrigado ao António Granado pela sua constante atenção.
