Our old pal Sarah Hepola points us to Jody Rosen’s story in Slate today about “the weekly alternative for Montgomery County” that likes to steal other folks’ stories and credit them to some dude named Mark Williams. Rosen was tipped to The Bulletin by a Slate reader who noticed that a Jimmy Buffett piece Rosen had written had later appeared in the paper under Williams’ byline. Rosen also noted that, oh, ’bout two years back, Williams also borrowed quite liberally from a McKay Brothers show preview that appeared in the Dallas Observer a month earlier. Oh, Darryl Smyers, I believer you’re owed at least a freelance check. –Robert Wilonsky
Will you step up to support Dallas Observer this year?
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If the Dallas Observer matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
