SPARTAN EDGE INVESTIGATION SHOWS HOLES IN ING'S EDITORIAL SYSTEM
By Spartan Edge staff

An MSU magazine ran a story from Spartan Edge last week, and the publisher is denying any wrongdoing in reprinting the pictures and story word for word.

Adam Grant, who publishes ING Magazine, effectively violated copyright laws and breached MSU’s student policy.

Grant reprinted an article on drinking games written by Nick Mordowanec in the Oct. 29 issue of the Edge, except it didn't print the first paragraph that related it to another Edge story on drinking game hazards.

In addition, Grant did not give credit to the Edge for the story, and he printed another person’s name atop the story instead of Mordowanec’s: Renee Farah, the ING style editor.

Grant said in an email to Edge Editor Amanda Peterka that he did nothing wrong, and that the errors were careless mistakes.
