ترجمه 4 صفحه درباره Plagiarism در مطبوعات

Plagiarism, the reuse of original ideas or words without attribution, is regarded as a serious violation of journalistic ethics. It is usually conceived as a form of stealing, taking facts or information 

that another person developed without giving credit to the source. In journalism, plagiarism usually entails words but can sometimes involve  images or sounds. It is an ethical issue and not a 

legal one; intellectual property or copyright law rarely applies because typical plagiarism does not 

produce financial harm. Most journalistic organizations treat plagiarism as a serious infraction

that, in a majority of cases, results in the employee’s dismissal. It is considered a journalistic taboo

because it violates an expectation of originality— that the bylined author or on-air correspondent 

actually reported the story and wrote the words printed or spoken. The two leading professional 

associations for print and for broadcast journalists place plagiarism in the context of untruthful

reporting. The Radio-Television News Directors Association ethics code lists plagiarism as a forbidden activity along with manipulating images or  sounds. The Society of Professional Journalists 

ethics code locates plagiarism along with activities that distort reality such as unbalanced reporting 

or perpetuating stereotypes.
