Newspaper Copycats - Ammo Shortage

Over ten days ago, the Associated Press ran a story about how the police forces in this country have been dealing with sharply increased costs and shortages of ammunition thanks, in part, to Chimpy's War.

But you might not have known that the AP ran the story first, if, for example, you took a pass through the Washington Post or FirstCoastNews.com. Other news outlets probably did the same thing.

Do that in academia, it's "plaigarism." In the news biz, it's "getting inspiration."
