Critic fired for alleged plagiarism

Posted: Saturday, November 27, 1999

BALTIMORE (AP) - A music critic for The Sun newspaper was fired for lifting a passage from a reference book for an opera review.

Critic Stephen Wigler was fired Wednesday after a reader pointed out that his review of the Baltimore Opera's "La Traviata" included an unattributed excerpt from "The Metropolitan Opera Guide to Recorded Opera," Editor John S. Carroll said.

Carroll apologized in a letter, saying, "The critic who wrote The Sun's review, when asked about the similarity, acknowledged having committed plagiarism," he said.
