Washington:
Celebrated Indian American journalist Fareed Zakaria, who was
suspended by Time and CNN last week after he apologised for
plagiarizing a paragraph from the New Yorker for his Time column,
will keep both his jobs.
Time magazine and CNN, both owned by Time Warner, announced
Thursday that after a review of his work they were revoking the
temporary suspensions of Mumbai born Zakaria, 48, who became
editor-at-large of Time in 2010 and hosts CNN's flagship foreign
affairs show "GPS".
Time said that Zakaria's column would resume with its Sep 7 issue.
In a separate statement CNN said that Zakaria's weekly GPS would
be back on the air Aug 26.
"We have completed a thorough review of each of Fareed Zakaria's
columns for Time, and we are entirely satisfied that the language
in question in his recent column was an unintentional error and an
isolated incident for which he has apologized," Time's statement
read.
"We look forward to having Fareed's thoughtful and important voice
back in the magazine with his next column in the issue that comes
out on Sep 7."
In a statement released a few hours later, CNN said: "CNN has
completed its internal review of Fareed Zakaria's work for CNN,
including a look back at his Sunday programs, documentaries, and
CNN.com blogs. The process was rigorous. We found nothing that
merited continuing the suspension."
"Zakaria has apologized for a journalistic lapse," it added. "CNN
and Zakaria will work together to strengthen further the
procedures for his show and blog."
"Fareed Zakaria's quality journalism, insightful mind and
thoughtful voice meaningfully contribute to the dialogue on global
and political issues," it said.
In another piece of good news for Zakaria, the Washington Post
apologised to him Thursday for stating in an article that in his
2008 book "The Post-American World," Zakaria had failed to cite
the source of a quotation taken from another book.
"In fact, Zakaria did credit the other work, by Clyde V.
Prestowitz. Endnotes crediting Prestowitz were contained in
hardcover and paperback editions of Zakaria's book. The Post
should have examined copies of the books and should not have
published the article," the daily said.
"We regret the error and apologize to Mr. Zakaria," the Post
wrote.
