Martha Stewart Magazine Plagiarizes Itself
LatestWhile flipping through this year’s Halloween issue of Martha Stewart Living, Mary Findley realized she’d seen this image before. While it would have been tremendously easy to switch the icing to white, swap the bat decorations for ghosts, and change the caption to “ghoulishly good,” the editors decided to run the exact same “scarily sweet” cake that was pictured in the 2008 issue. The New York Times notes that publications repurpose content all the time — the problem is there’s no indication in the magazine that many of the articles are republished.
