Associated Press and growing pains
I agree with Ed Morissey. When newspapers use AP or Reuters stories I have tended to link to the original AP or Reuters material. Their notion of cracking down on quoting causes me to rethink my actions. New media isn't going away, but neither are major news agencies. We all need to find a way to encourage and promote the dissemination of news so that everybody wins. I'm glad AP is working on a more reasonable response to the traffic that bloggers drive their direction. It's a great start.
