Unless something is common knowledge, whenever you directly borrow ideas or wording from another source, proper journalistic etiquette demands that you identify the source from whence the information came. Adding a link to that source, whenever possible, is also highly recommended.
To do otherwise is to be guilty of plagiarism which seriously undermines a journalist's or blogger's credibility.
