Time magazine and CNN said on Thursday they were reinstating journalist Fareed Zakaria after suspending him last week for plagiarism.
Time said in a statement that it believed Zakaria made an “unintentional error” in what was an “isolated incident” in a recent column on gun control for the magazine that he took from another writer.
“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 September 7,” Time said in a statement.
Cable news channel CNN said that after a thorough internal review of Zakaria’s work on his Sunday TV shows, blogs and documentaries, “we found nothing that merited continuing the suspension.”
“Zakaria has apologized for a journalistic lapse. CNN and Zakaria will work together to strengthen further the procedures for his show and blog,” CNN said. It said Zakaria’s public affairs program “GPS” will return on August 26.
Time said last week that it was suspending Zakaria for one month after the respected journalist issued a public apology for borrowing from an April New Yorker essay about gun control in a column he wrote for his publication.

Cannot have one of their best Obama cheerleaders sit on the side lines and be punished. Why am I not surprised.
