"Fill your newspaper with news from around the world, about the news topics you care about."

Using somebody's else copyrighted content and then charging for the newspaper? Good luck with that!

We have explicit partnerships with a large percentage of our content providers. We also have partnerships with some for full text. We continue to reach out to more sources every day - we're not in the business of harvesting feeds without permission.

The whole idea is that we allow people to write, edit, curate and also aggregate content. A simple analogy would be HuffingtonPost. I realize people have strong opinions about HuffPo as well, but that's another debate.
