Suggestion for Posting News Articles

I was searching for an old article from a Sun publication, and discovered that they remove old articles, and now charge $10 for an email version. In light of this, I think that we should always copy and paste the entire article into a Hipbase post (citing the website link) to ensure that these articles don't just serve to feed the coffers of Quebecor and the like.

Thoughts?

(Here is the link to the old article I am referring to: http://www.canoe.ca/NewsStand/LondonFre ... 29776.html )

Yep, sounds good. I'm not sure if it's a chain-wide thing yet, haven't heard if we're doing it here yet, but certain papers in the chain (Like those no-goodnicks at the LFP) only give you a short window... so cut and paste works well.

If anyone is looking for an article let me know and I can likely dig it up free of charge through my library. We have access to Factiva, which has the full-text of many peridodicals, including most papers in NorthAmerica.

Just try to get me key details such as, say:

-The Title
-The Date
-The Author
-The Publication (ie, London Free Press)

As many of those details as possible would be the most helpful.
