Somewhat of an open question really. I think for all of blogging we have concluded that the words in your blog post were in fact written by you. I see two reasons plagiarism is bad: both and injustice to whom wrote the original but also a false indicator to your cognitive and creative ability.
- emodendroket 4y ago> I think for all of blogging we have concluded that the words in your blog post were in fact written by you. If "we" concluded that it was a little naive since ghostwriting predates the blog.
- hpen 4y agoI have to give you that. That is a good point. I definitely am or was naive enough to think personal blogs were personally written. Man, now I’m questioning how ethical ghostwriting is. Not sure that was your intention but that is thought provoking.
- emodendroket 4y agoWell, I think it is more challenging than that. Even if the author writes the piece himself, most professional writing is subject to editing, which can substantially change the finished product. The one thing we can be reasonably, if not entirely, certain of is that the piece is one the author is comfortable endorsing as his own.
- hpen 4y agoYou can argue plagiarist are comfortable endorsing as their own but that seems beside the point.
