Re: news
The answer to your question depends on several factors: 1) if the articles are in the public domain; 2) if not, do you have permission of the copyright holder to reproduce the articles; 3) if "no" to 1 and 2, what is your purpose for posting the articles and are you posting an entire article or only an exerpt of an article. In any event, you should discuss this with an attorney before you do anything as infringing on a valid copyright can be very expensive. Feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss this further.
