Former New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson has been accused of plagiarism of multiple passages of her latest book, Merchants of Truth: Inside the News Revolution. She has also been accused of factual inaccuracies in reporting for the book, specifically interviews of Vice employees.
Abramson’s book is about the change in the US news industry, told through the journey of four organisations: Buzzfeed, Vice, The New York Times and The Washington Post.
In a Twitter thread, Vice News journalist Michael C Moynihan accused Abramson of lifting certain passages pertaining to Vice, a digital news organisation based in the US.
