Yes, in a scientific world, it is considered as a plagiarism even if we did add the fully reference of the source. To make it as "not plagiarism" thing, one must make the work based on his own word even though he refer to other articles or news, and then you still must add the source.
I believe even in the internet world, it is still a plagiarism, and should lead to a punishment.
It's not plagiarism if you site your source, which he did.
the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own.
