Pulitzer winner plagiarizes at Washington Post (*updated)

 The Washington Post has apologized in an editor's note for a case of "substantial" plagiarism in two of its stories. In both, passages were lifted from the Arizona Republic. The author of the reports, Sari Horwitz, a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, received a three-month suspension, Washington Post media writer Paul Farhi has reported.
