In the field, when the journalist carries out his obligation to look for news of this activity it is common.

Praktik kloning ini seakan menjadi hal yang biasa. Di lapangan, saat sang jurnalis menjalankan kewajibannya mencari berita kegiatan ini biasa terjadi.Profesi jurnalis memiliki batas-batas tertentu dalam penerapan kinerja di lapangan. Praktik plagiat di kalangan jurnalis tentunya menjadi sebuah pelangaran karena bertentangan dengan kode etik jurnalistik.Kegiatan meniru milik orang lain atau plagiasi saat ini sudah semakin mudah dilakukan. Kinerja wartawan di lapangan dalam mengumpulkan berbagai informasi untuk dijadikan bahan berita, ternyata juga turut berpengaruh pada berkembangnya perilaku plagiat khususnya jurnalisme kloning.Permasalahan yang pada akhirnya menjadi pertanyaan adalah, benarkah jurnalisme kloning, copy paste press release atau meminta berita dari jurnalis lain untuk diakui sebagai suatu karya pribadi adalah benar-benar aktivitas yang dibenarkan oleh sebagian kalangan?
