Copying information from another source is okay, well as long as you cite it right? In the world of academia and beyond, citation is the ultimate savior from allegations of plagiarism. Many student like myself start most of college research with Wikipedia, which expertly cites most of its facts so students like me can fact check.
However,I digress to present the best online journalism version of Wikipedia, The Daily Beast. Headed by Tina Brown, a personal favorite of mine, the Beast has outperformed many of its numerous competitors as the go-to news source. It's Cheat Sheet is a regular read of mine. The "Cheat Sheet" allows people like me to emotionally voyeur on to a place of sinisterly wonderful newsworthy summaries of excellent articles from great news sources, such as the L.A. Times, Washington Post, etc.
Their Web design and graphics figuratively kill the competition. The Beast indulges people like me with hard-core news topics, like the Yemen embassy crisis, alongside feature caustic and witty stories and photo slide shows that wonderfully, translucently pop out. Another added bonus includes their wonderful "Book Beast" section, which unlike the heavily clouded NYT literature montage points me to the recent best reads.
More importantly they have recruited a range of journalist/columnist newbies and conquistadors, like Gerald Posner, an award-winning investigative detective and writer, I suppose. Let's simply consider that I could keep writing more about their online savvy for a lot longer then anyone might bother to read. It's a site you have to see to believe.

Quibble: they figuratively kill the competition. To literally kill them would be either murder or putting them out of business, making them cease to be.

Understood. Well,they do consistently outrank other similar sites. "Killing" their viewers?
