Television and radio editorials--when they rarely occur--are usually bland; typically, they are opposed to sin and for freedom. But too many newspaper editorials are the same, and newspapers do not have a federal license that might be taken away. The unspoken motto that hangs over too many editorial-writing desks is: Don't offend the advertisers. Don't offend the public. Don't be too controversial.

Student Version:
Unfortunately, avoiding controversy and shying away from ideas that might offend advertisers or the public too often seems to be the unexpressed motto displayed on newspaper editorials-writing desks. Unlike television and radio, "newspapers do not have a federal license that might be taken away" (Simon, 2003, p. 67) so governments have less ability to influence newspaper content.

1. Which of the following is true for the Student Version above?
A. Word-for-Word plagiarism
B. Paraphrasing plagiarism
C. This is not plagiarism
Explanation: The student copies substantial parts of the original text but put the words in quotes when she does this. At the end of her work, the student also gives credit to the original author so she did not plagiarize.
Plagiarism is when an original text is coped and made to seem like your own work. Because she indicated the source as well as signified which words she took directly from the source, it is clear that these are not her words. Therefore it is not plagiarism.
