Posted January 17, 200619 yr How do you post a newspaper article ? Are you guys just copying & pasting ? It seems like something more high tech. :-) thanks

January 18, 200619 yr I thought this was going to be a question about copyright violations. Because that's probably what copying and pasting the articles in their entirety amounts to. We're all going to hell.
January 19, 200619 yr I thought this was going to be a question about copyright violations. Because that's probably what copying and pasting the articles in their entirety amounts to. We're all going to hell. I'm the first in line. Sheesh.... Quimbob...yep, just copy and paste like the other guys said. I like to clean them up, too. There's no used to have "ADVERTISEMENT" in the middle of a story when it takes two seconds to delete it. But that's just me being a bitch....
January 19, 200619 yr "I'm the first in line" And I'll be at the door, checking the guestlist and handing out drink tickets for brimstone martinis. :evil: Seriously though, I usually copy and paste the article, but I also add the link so people can check where it came from. I also cite the source in the first line or two out of courtesy. clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram
January 19, 200619 yr for some reason when i copy/paste articles from the dispatch, some of the characters show up as question marks on the thread, but not when anyone else does it
January 19, 200619 yr If they use the special apostrophe's (ASCII characters 147 and 148) instead of standard apostrophe's (ASCII character 34), sometimes browsers won't handle it...you'll get that on phones and sometimes in plain-text emails as well...if they only cover the lower ASCII range, they don't know what to do with the upper range.
January 20, 200619 yr The Akron Beacon Journal uses two apostrophes instead of one quotation mark, and they only use it on the front side of the word in quotes. So I always go in there and change them. But they only do that on their stories--AP stories are fine for some reason.

January 21, 200619 yr KJP, do newspapers or writers typically care if their stuff is reposted, asuming proper credit is given?
