Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Texas

Yes you can. Ideas and facts cannot be copyrighted. It is the way the article is written - words and phrases used, layout, and organization - that makes an article expressive and thus copyrightable. But watch out, if you summarize the article in a way that is still substantially similar to parts of the article then that may still be infringing.

Although copyright infringement may not be an issue, especially for news articles, which are very factual and less expressive in nature, you might be accused of plagiarism. However, there is no cause of action for plagiarism under the law.
