AP to meet with blogging group to form guidelines: Financial News - Yahoo! Finance: "NEW YORK (AP) -- The Associated Press, following criticism from bloggers over an AP assertion of copyright, plans to meet this week with a bloggers' group to help form guidelines under which AP news stories could be quoted online.
Jim Kennedy, the AP's director of strategic planning, said Monday that he planned to meet Thursday with Robert Cox, president of the Media Bloggers Association, as part of an effort to create standards for online use of AP stories by bloggers that would protect AP content without discouraging bloggers from legitimately quoting from it."

who in their right mind would want to quote anything from the associated press, the lamest source of anything from anywhere. it's unbelieveable anyone even reads anything from the AP. i admit, 99% of what they run is creative writing. but it's certainly not good prose. the writing from most of the angst-ridden teen music blogs far surpasses AP "writing:" which is mostly political tract boilerplate from Lenin and rachel carson. it's these last two who ought to be demanding copyright protection, not AP.
