Syndicator Probes Anne Coulter For Plagarism (* This is serious business in the journalistic field, not that Coulter is a journalist, but it could be the end for her) The company which syndicates conservative leviathan Ann Coulter issued a statement to Editor & Publisher this afternoon saying they are probing allegations of plagiarism raised by the New York Post and online news sites. The process seems to have been sparked by a call from TPM Muckraker, an investigative politics site. In a statement printed by Editor and Publisher, Universal Press Syndicate's director of communications Kathie Kerr said the company is probing Coulter's columns and may use computerized technology to compare Coulter's columns against previously published works. "We'll see what we can find on our own," Kerr told E&P. John Barrie, a plagiarism expert who devised an 'iThenticate' plagiarism-probing system, said that Coulter had likely plagiarized in an article in Sunday's New York Post. RAW STORY has documented Coulter's plagiarism on multiple occasions, some of which was used in the Post article, though never credited. Read our article about plagiarism in Coulter's latest book here, and a detailed investigation by blogger Rude Pundit here. TPM Muckraker, an offshoot of the popular Talking Points Memo, called Universal earlier this week to ask if the firm would be probing Coulter's work. Universal may use a plagiarism program from Barrie's company, according to E&P. The media site said Barrie did not return Universal's calls for comment. Kerr told E&P that they will use a LexisNexis program to probe Coulter's columns. "This tool is a service sold through subscription on LexisNexis," Kerr told E&P. "We use the research tool on LexisNexis quite a bit. The plagiarism tool is called Copyguard and is about a year old. We'll want to set up a trial period and of course get pricing on this tool, but it sounds like something that would benefit us. I don't know how long it will take to get a trial period set up."
