WNYC’s Jami Floyd accused of plagiarism in 45 articles dating back to 2010By Thomas Barrabi
April 4, 2022
WNYC staffer Jami Floyd authored 45 articles that were removed from wnyc.org and Gothamist websites last week after an internal review revealed parts of them were plagiarized, The Post has learned.
Floyd, 57, was the director of New York Public Radio’s Race & Justice Unit and its legal editor until Monday morning, when she abruptly resigned from her post.
The resignation occurred after WNYC pulled down the allegedly plagiarized articles and told Floyd they were a fireable offense, a source familiar with the situation told The Post.
Meanwhile, Floyd has already indicated that she plans to sue WNYC – calling a press conference for Tuesday morning in which she plans to speak out about what she described as “alleged racism and discrimination at WNYC.”
The allegedly plagiarized articles were published over a period spanning back to 2010, when Floyd first started writing for the outlet as a freelancer. Some of the posts included entire paragraphs lifted word-for-word from other sources – including Wikipedia, the source claimed.
