Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
In the era of YouTube and increasingly sophisticated information technology, copy-cats plagiarize the work of others at their own peril. This week, the campaign of Senator Hillary Clinton accused fellow-presidential candidate Barack Obama of parroting a section of a speech by one of his friends. We explore the gray-area between borrowing and copying, and how new technology is detecting plagiarism in our politics, work and academic lives.
