Don't be so sure. Many plagiarists have old-school journalism backgrounds. Last year, the "Cooks Source" editor in Western Mass. copy and pasted much of the content in her magazine from Internet sources before getting caught, and had gotten her start at The Voice decades before (see http://mashable.com/2010/11/06/cooks-source/ ). Earlier in my career, one of my colleagues was fired for lifting from Wikipedia, who was also from an old-school newspaper background. Many more examples of this.
