Can I reprint published news stories in a non-profit newsletter?

December 28th, 2008
byron asked:

I work for a state psychiatric hospital. My patients want to start a newsletter and have requested current events as part of the newsletter.

Can I reprint stories that I get off of the internet if I cite them? If not, where can I get news stories? I’m low on time and can’t rewrite a bunch of stories…

    yes, you should be able to reference them- when I do newsletters, I often paraphrase or use sections of a larger article & still reference it.
