"Because the writer in question had a copyright on her website where the article can be found, the content of the website is under copyright law."

Ouch. Surely there must be a better source than some junk written by a clueless "digital journalist" with the sole purpose of flooding search engines?

Same primary source regardless of what outlet covers it.

NPR: http://www.npr.org/blogs/monkeysee/2010/11/05/131091599/the-...

Economist: "A host of Facebook and other denizens have traced over 100 other articles that have appeared in the magazine to The Food Network, NPR, Martha Stewart, Sunset, and others. A Google Docs spreadsheet maintains the list."

The list:

Over 160 entries just from recent issues that people could find copies of.

Out of curiosity, how do you suppose that spreadsheet was created?

How would one go about finding the sources en masse from a set of articles? What tools would be used?

Google?
