I've said it before, but I'll say it again: The Crimson on occasion can really hold its own in terms of reporting. The paper put most mainstream media outlets to shame with its coverage of Summers' struggles earlier this year and now it's scooped a major story involving literary plagiarism (see David Zhou's "Publisher 'Certain' of 'Literal Copying' in Sophomore's Novel" and the Crimson Staff's "Kaavya Speaks: 'I Sincerely Apologize'". The New York Times and other MSM agencies are belatedly catching up.
Now if only the Crimson could do a better job with its editorials ...
Update:
The Crimson continues to scoop MSM outlets on this story. See "'Opal' Similar to More Books"
