Newspaper Plagiarism - Does Anyone Care Anymore?

Newspaper writers are losing their integrity? It seems that in the old days there was always a certain code of ethics among journalists. They say that an investigative journalist will sell their own children to get a story, but it will not steal another person's words as you type. The writers of recent years may have operated that way, but with the availability of the stories of internet dating and now that everything has changed. What you read online and in newspapers today could very likely be a rewrite of some other material, if not a direct copy and paste.

Plagiarism is a newspaper now a common practice, especially for national and international stories. A writer in San Francisco can read a story in New York at 3:00 am (EST) and have it ready to go on your own paper by midnight (PST) term. If you write with care and only plagiarizes appointments, he could get away with it and keep their jobs. The story is not Pulitzer material, but who cares? The deadline was met, the story will be published and no one will notice it, right?

Society has reached a point where the distribution of information is becoming much more important than quality. If you can republish something several times in Facebook, why not plagiarize some articles? In the days before the Web there are editors who cared about such things, but now everything seems to be duplicate content. The simple fact that that's what matters. It's sad, but unfortunately that's the way many publications do business now.

There is a bright spot, however. It's almost a Catch-22 of the reporters. If you plagiarize an article and send it to print and print only he could get away with it. If your newspaper published that story online, you will get caught. Duplicate content is marked by the search engines and sanctioned by lowering the page rank display site. Any newspaper with an online option is to monitor page rank, so the punishment continued noticeable. To avoid completely, publishers are beginning to use online software that checks for duplication. Even the smallest prints are sent back to rewrite, forcing journalists to once again make their own writing.

If you read science fiction, you will notice the disturbing similarities in the ancient works that accurately represent the beliefs and behaviors of our modern society. In Isaac Asimov's "Foundation" series, is a brief story about the search for the origin of humanity. A "archaeologist" of the decadent empire tells how he studied the work of others who visited different "source" worlds and came to a conclusion on the basis of his writings. When asked why not just visit the sites explored, was horrified. "The work has been done by others," she exclaims. "Why do it again?" The empire fell soon after. Maybe there's a lesson he learned there journalists and writers who plagiarize.
