Untitled

I am removing the line about Logan working for Challenge Weekly - he isn't listed as an in-house journalist by the paper - and replacing it with a more generic reference to his continued writing.

Logan and Post-Maxim Career

Given that Logan has only published at Challenge Weekly since his retirement from the Maxim Institute, I have modified the final sentence to reflect that he has not subsequently published within secular New Zealand media.

User Calibanu 15:18, 07 May 2006.

I note that someone has amended the final sentence to comment that Logan is 'continuing to write' social commentary. I was unable to find evidence that this was the case within Index New Zealand's database, so I am modifying the final sentence.

Update: I see that Logan indeed wrote an Otago Daily Times article, so I will accordingly amend the final sentence to reflect that.

User: Calibanu: 15:15, 23 July 2006

I fail to see why his activities after "Logangate" should not continue to be reported, given ongoing questions about prior copyright violation and disregard for intellectual property in his context.

Loaded

This article is so loaded. How sad. Suppose I will have to pay it some attention sometime soon.A.J.Chesswas 04:43, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, this article merely states Logan's current activities and publications. It is not 'loaded' to note that Logan retired from his position at the Maxim Institute after concerns about plagiarism, nor that he has had a fairly minimal number of articles accepted for publication since Paul Litterick revealed that to be the case.

Moreover, the plagiarism incident caused significant consquences for the Maxim Institute. It led to the closure of their former Christchurch premises at fundamentalist Middleton Grange School, as well as the end of Evidence, their glossy "policy journal", due to Logan's editorial role, and initiated an exodus of staff members from their organisation.
