LORD Justice Leveson has been accused of making a journalistic faux pas by "borrowing" a phrase or two from Wikipedia including republishing a glaring error.

As the man behind the push to reform the British media to improve ethics, accuracy and culture, Lord Leveson bemoaned inaccuracies in journalism as a "significant concern".

But an online service designed to detect plagiarism has highlighted a number of passages in his report which appeared to be the same as on Wikipedia.

"A social network service essentially consists of a representation of each user (often a profile), his/her social links and a variety of additional services. Most social network sites are web-based," says one passage that features verbatim on both in Wikipedia and Lord Leveson's 200-page report.

The report also inaccurately describes the wrong name of the founder of The Independent newspaper, replicating an error that appears on the online encyclopedia.


Lord Leveson is currently enroute to Australia to talk about the challenges of journalism in the modern era.
