I have written a follow up to my original blog post: http://leevinsel.com/blog/2014/10/12/evgenymorozov-newyorker-showusthemissingpages

The original post has been viewed about 10,000 times as I write this email. There are hundreds of calls on Twitter for Morozov to apologize. Many are calling him a plagiarist (a term I still haven't used). I have been contacted by dozens of historians who believe that Morozov must speak out. I have encountered only one historian who buys the arguments about "highbrow journalism" and different genres, and even he backed off of it. Prominent journalism professors have said on Twitter that genre is no reason to violate norms. 

I believe that, if we polled historians, they would say that Morozov should apologize publicly. The irony is that, through his hardheadedness, Morozov is alienating himself from the very communities he aspires to join. 

OK, I'm going to hide in a cave now. I have found this whole situation stressful and unpleasant. 

Sincerely,

Lee
