In 2000, Jacoby was suspended by the Globe for four months without pay forwhat the paper called his “serious journalistic misconduct” in failing toprovide sources for a Fourth of July column on the fate of the signers of theDeclaration of Independence. Although the themes and ideas in the column hadalready appeared in other media outlets, Jacoby neglected to mention that thecolumn’s content was not original. The Globe “avoided calling the column awork of plagiarism but stated that Jacoby should have alerted readers tosimilar accounts published elsewhere over the years.” On CNN’s ReliableSources, veteran journalists Bernard Kalb and Howard Kurtz concluded that“Jeff Jacoby got shafted by the Boston Globe.” Time magazine’s Lance Morrowwrote that “Jacoby’s offense was no offense.” Many conservative organizationsand commentators expressed outrage, saying that Jacoby had been unfairly heldto a far stricter standard than other journalists would be. The BostonPhoenix, often at odds with Jacoby’s views, also rose to Jacoby’s defense.
