Answer:

Option 3. The potential consequences for a reporter who has plagiarized material are the loss of his/her job and the loss of his/her personal credibility.

Explanation:

When accused of having plagiarized a report, article or document that the reporter stated he/she wrote themselves, the accused will likely face being fired from the job in which they published the plagiarized document, as authenticity is a primal characteristic that media and press companies want for their employees to posses. It also will probably means that the personal credibility of the accused is, at least, put under revision by the public opinion as people will start to wonder if previous articles written by the same reporter, were in fact of his/her authorship. Because there is not an official body that licenses journalists, it is highly doubtful that the accused will lose their professional license, as they probably don't hold one in the first place.
