Editor and Publisher magazine uncovered a possible case of plagiarism when someone noticed the column running in other publications under different bylines. [Tip of cap to Nick Martin of www.heatcity.org for pointing us to E&P’s article].
We found the article in a few more places, like here and here.

She’s published dozens of columns in the Tribune over the last few years, her Web site shows. Which means someone’s got some explaining to do.
It may be that Warren wrote all those columns and is being plagiarized by other publications.
But if she’s just putting her name on someone else’s work, Tribune readers have a right to know.
