You are correct in noting that the FR forum software does not allow Gannett http's in the Source field. Generally, when posting from a Gannett source you should place the link in the part of the post where you would otherwise place the text of the article. If you wish, you should then click Report Abuse and ask to have the link inserted where it otherwise should have been.

As for The Detroit News, I have not seen where it has been "sold" by Gannett and I am not aware of the status of its Joint Operating Agreement with The Detroit Free Press. Suffice it to say that, if the two editorial pages are still one and the same, it is not likely that The Detroit News will be removed from the Gannett "list." For your safety, please understand.

If you know more about the above than we do back here, please let us know.

Thanks for the reply. It’s the strangest thing here in Detroit.

Gannett now owns the Free Press, Media News Group owns the News.
However the JOA is still in effect, so guess we can’t post from either.

Bummer, cause there are good articles from the Detroit News.

Moderator, I have been using the April 5, 2004 Updated FR Excerpt and Link Only or Deny Posting List due to Copyright Complaints for posting info.

I notice there are a lot of AM edits. Am I reading the original lists correctly as having been edited to make them current?
