Jul 12, 2009 Between Journalists and Ill-Gotten Information, a Shield of Distance

QUOTE: The scandal’s breadth is new, but many of the particulars are not. Some corners of the press have a long history of using material that may have been obtained illegally, much of it received from private investigators, including intercepted phone calls, personal financial records, even medical files....On both sides of the Atlantic, though, the law generally allows news organizations to use material provided to them by someone who may have collected it illegally.

QUOTE: A dozen times, user-editors posted word of the kidnapping on Wikipedia’s page on Mr. Rohde, only to have it erased.

Apr 06, 2009 A.P. Seeks to Rein in Sites Using Its Content

QUOTE: News aggregators and search companies have long asserted that collecting snippets of articles — usually headlines and a sentence or two — is allowed under the legal doctrine of “fair use.” News organizations have been reluctant to test that idea in court, and it is still not clear whether The A.P. is willing to test the fair use doctrine.

Apr 17, 2007 Revolving Door for Addicts Adds to Medicaid Cost

QUOTE: But at its core, experts say, the overuse of costly inpatient programs is connected to the lack of housing for homeless people. People are less likely to admit themselves to hospitals, and more likely to adhere to treatment programs, when they are not living on the streets. For more than a decade, the city and state have invested in such housing, including some that accept residents who are not yet drug-free, but demand for housing still far exceeds supply.
