We regret to inform you that today we have been notified that Daniel Perry copied of the work of Dave Shoalts from the Globe and Mail, a Toronto-based newspaper. Perry was hired by Sports Media 101 on May 23, 2012 as the author of our Maple Leafs 101 content. This incident was first brought to our attention via Twitter by mutual readers of the Globe and Mail and Sports Media 101. In light of these events, we have taken immediate action to terminate Daniel Perry from the Sports Media 101 team and remove his content from the Maple Leafs site.
Had we been aware of this improper behavior before being notified by readers, we would have never allowed the content to be published. Sports Media 101 has expanded rapidly over the last few months, and our manpower for editorial oversight is just now catching up to this growth. We prioritize quality assurance based on the experience of our hired writers, and Daniel Perry’s training and qualifications led to an oversight on our part.
