I have not. I have been spending a lot of time researching copyright laws. Probably too much time. But I have almost everything in place. I want to go out with the best product I can. I just can't decide on what to use for the main articles. I want to do some story re-writes myself but I lack confidence in my writing skills. I have another idea for main stories but the cost would be about $60 a week. I am already at nearly $40 a week with other content I have lined up.

I have scrutinized the publications you mention. I have not called them but wonder how they can run AP and other news syndicate stories without attribution. I contacted AP to buy stories and learned you cant be a shopper or a restaurant publication and get copy from them. You must employ an editorial staff. You cant just cut and paste stuff you find on the Internet and publish it. Yet it appears that is what some do. If you look closely you will find that the CN does not do that. Take a lesson from the big dogs.

Where exactly are you in your research? Are you serious about publishing or just looking at the prospect at this point?
