"Couric & Co." Blog Apologizes For "Omission"
Last night, an Editor's Note was posted on the "Couric & Co." blog. It reads in full:
The April 4 Notebook has now been removed from the site. Mike Sims, director of News and Operations for CBSNews.com, declined to comment about the specifics of the matter. "The Editor's Note speaks for itself," said Sims.
Correction: The April 4 Notebook was based on a "Moving On" column by Jeffrey Zaslow that ran in The Wall Street Journal on March 15 with the headline, "Of the Places You'll Go, Is the Library Still One of Them?" Much of the material in the Notebook came from Mr. Zaslow, and we should have acknowledged that at the top of our piece. We offer our sincere apologies for the omission."Katie Couric's Notebook" is a regular feature on "Couric & Co." in which Couric reflects on a particular issue on camera. A transcription of her comments is usually posted on "Couric & Co.," along with the video, which is also made available to all CBS owned and operated and affiliate stations. In addition, the audio of her comments is made available to authorized CBS Radio stations.

Or, forgot the conceit of a fake blog.
And did she read the article that was subsequently plagiarized? If she did, why didn't she notice?
Is the fired producer the Scooter Libby of this affair?
