Maybe the journalist was so used to using Wikipedia as a reference work for general knowledge that (because of association) they didn't think/feel they needed to reference the WMF blog?
Maybe. I think, though, that most blogs these days add credit to the end of their articles with things like "hat-tips", which requires you to be interested enough to scroll through the article first to find the source.

Have there been any recent posts about the importance of proper citations? Might be a good time to tweet it out - or write one if it doesn’t exist or address this context.
I am always a fan of teachable moments when things like this happen that could wind up getting outside attention. :)

PS. I am shocked to learn that WMF C-Lvl were once sharp-tongued on Twitter - shocked! ;)

Yep. And then they didn't source it. Super uncool. You may see I got a little grumpy about it on Twitter.
