past" regarding plagiarism can haunt journalism students in this era of
the Internet! Professor Stone writes, "...as a result of the Internet,
online journalism, and blogs, those who write for publication, even
undergraduate publications, live in a world where the midnight sun is
always up, the microphone is always on, and the curtains are never
down."
