Dawn is Exposed

Check out Dawn’s Shoddy Journalism

Kudos to one “Shan Saeed” for brilliantly identifying the forces driving US dollar hegemony (Reserve currency: will China be able to provide alternative?) and copying them from Asia Times Online (China vs the almighty dollar); and to Pakistan’s Dawn for pasting them onto its website. Such copy-and-paste mastery is to be

																applauded, especially as it seems that "Mr Saeed" has not resorted to  																	crudely copying the whole article, but appears to have carefully  																	selected every second paragraph. Either that, or some poor Dawn  																	copy-editor was given the job of cutting Henry C K Liu's analysis by half. If  																	so, it's a pity the Dawn editors did not spend a fraction of that time doing a  																	Google search for a key phrase, which would have quickly identified Henry  																	C K Liu as the author and ATol as the owner of the article.

Re: Dawn is Exposed

Interesting...
It's 3 yrs old though, and such cases are not very uncommon, if reported, Dawn would have taken due action i guess.

Re: Dawn is Exposed

nice one, I wonder when someone conduct search on Pakistani Unis PhD thesis reports which are mostly copies directly from international journals and online resources.

Old out of touch professors either dont know how to search it or go online or even compare it with previous reports submitted in same or other unis on the similar topic.

I am sure if its done, may would expact to have PhDs stripped off from them.

Re: Dawn is Exposed

have Dawn done anything about this issue? or stopped/fired this writer yet?
