What’s on the Plagiarism & Credit poster
Always against Never, side by side.
- Always: Credit the outlet that broke it, by name
- Always: Link to the original where you can
- Always: Quote accurately and in context
- Always: Say when you have not verified it yourself
- Always: Credit photographers and data sources
- Never: Rewriting another's work as your own
- Never: Lifting quotes as if you gathered them
- Never: Crediting only in a later paragraph
- Never: Recycling your own work as new
- Never: Using a translation without saying so
- Credit costs nothing, and it is the one claim about your method a reader can check.
Self-plagiarism and fabricated quotes end careers as reliably as invented facts, because both are claims about how the work was done.

- Who is the Plagiarism & Credit poster for?
- Plagiarism & Credit belongs to the Communications & Media section rather than to a school year, because humanities is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning media law & ethics can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Plagiarism & Credit poster?
- Whenever a story rests on reporting somebody else did first. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Plagiarism & Credit belongs on the wall where that humanities work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Plagiarism & Credit?
- AI in the Newsroom, Conflicts of Interest and Reporting Courts sit alongside Plagiarism & Credit in the Communications & Media section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.AI in the NewsroomConflicts of InterestReporting Courts
- Is the Plagiarism & Credit poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Plagiarism & Credit downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Communications & Media section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Plagiarism & Credit poster print at?
- Plagiarism & Credit is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Plagiarism & Credit loses nothing.Printing guide
