Given the New York Times has yet to fire TV critic and serial correction collector Alessandra Stanley, why should we expect editors to keep Alexei Barrionuevo's byline out of the paper? No matter that Barrionuevo has twice been exposed as a plagiarist and required the Times to apologize-slash-clarify an article about the Canadian and Chilean salmon industries.

So here he is today, writing about Brazil's environment and deforestation. [NYT] Which means Arthur Sulzberger and Clark Hoyt can expect to hear from Brazil's president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Greenpeaceh Brazil and Imazon, the anti-logging trade group, as well as WTK Group, Samling Organization, and Fortune Timber, three Asian logging behemoths with heavy investments in ridding Brazil of those silly trees, because you know Barrionuevo got something wrong.

Alexei Barrionuevo, the Times scribe who's been outed as, at least, a two-time plagiarist, was called out for a third article about Canada and Chile's salmon industries. Today? The requisite correction that onlookers knew was coming.

An article on March 27 reported on a virus, infectious salmon anemia, or I.S.A., killing millions of salmon cultivated for export by Chile’s salmon farming industry. It quoted an official at the port of Castro, Chile, describing bags of fish food stored at the facility by Marine Harvest, a Norwegian company, as containing antibiotics, pigments and hormones. The official, Adolfo Flores, identified himself as the port director. He in fact worked as a security guard, The Times learned subsequently. Had The Times been aware of his actual position at the time, it would not have cited him as an authority on the contents of the bags, which were labeled medicated food. The article also should have noted that Marine Harvest and SalmonChile, an industry association, deny that they use hormones or that the pigments they use pose any risk to consumers.

Last month, Jack Shafer exposed New York Times scribe Alexei Barrionuevo's lifting of two sentences from a Miami Herald story. Since then, somebody's been making use of his Lexis account: Shafer now finds Barrionuevo isn't guilty of just the one infraction. Turns out, he's a borderline serial plagiarizer, lifting others' material since at least 2005. Times managing editor Jill Abramson looked into the "transgression" and responds that "Alexei did not fully understand Times policy." So, just as a PSA: Generally, newspapers do not lift the words of others without credit. All good now?
