A Note to Readers

CityLab recently discovered a case of plagiarism in an essay we published on December 7, 2012, when the site was then known as The Atlantic Cities.

The essay, written by freelance contributor Jared Keller and titled “Riding the Subway as Therapy”, had been adapted from a piece that originally ran on Keller’s personal website. The version that ran on our site includes a passage that was lifted from a 2009 Slate story written by Tom Vanderbilt.
