Boston Globe Admits To Using WBUR Material Without Attribution

The Boston Globe has admitted to using material without attribution from a column by WBUR Republican commentator Todd Domke in a Globe editorial.

The Globe editorial contained passages and quotations strongly resembling portions and ideas from the Domke column, published Aug. 15, a few days before the Globe editorial. The WBUR commentary criticized Vice President Joe Biden’s comments on bank regulations.

The Globe posted this Editor's Note Friday:

The use of material without attribution was inconsistent with Globe policies, and the Globe regrets the error.
