I think smart aggregation is a service to readers. And we do it, too ... Whether it's a politics page and you want Dan Balz to tell you what is he reading, what does he think are the smartest articles today on the elections or the primaries.

And the difference between just repurposing content and not crediting it. — Katharine Weymouth
