I use a lot of legally available embedded content on my site but I am steering clear of AP whenever I can because I know their reputation.

Here's a great idea: News outlets should stop disseminating AP content altogether. Perhaps, once it becomes clear that their content is not needed, they'll just go away, so a real news service like McClatchy, which uses actual journalists, can fill the void. This would kill two birds with one stone: we'd start getting stories that involve critical thinking, and we'd be rid of the internet's very own Keystone Kops.

I don’t want to reprint … i meant just copy/pasting ap news on blog site related to my site topic and giving reference like source: AP NEWS or weblink to original news story… i don’t want to publish all stories just related to my site topic i think it’s normal practice that i notice on other websites or blogs they give weblink or mention source like AP News below the news story published on their web site
it’s just related to internet no hard copies publication.
