 Many people plagiarism but another big one besides Steven Glass was Jonah Lehrer. Lehrer was a was a well-known science journalist. He wrote for New York Times, The New Yorker and Wired Magazine. Lehrer would sell his work twice. Also during interviews Lehrer would use quotes mostly from Bob Dylan with out quoting Bob Dylan himself.      

 The difference between Glass's plagiarism and Lehrer's is that Glass took his stories too far. Glass lied and took his lie in to a greater level. Lehrer still didn't do the right thing, but he didn't take it out of proportion. 

  Although both Glass and Lehrer both didnt do the right thing there stories are smiwlar and also very different. They both worked for major news comapnys, and both plagiarised. I bealive Glass's situation was a bigger deal. Glass made up most of his stories. They even made amovie out of Glass's story. They both had punishments and both have plagirisum on thier records.
