AP Waffles on Blog Policies

Posted Jun 16, 08 4:00 PM CDT in Technology 

(Newser) – The Associated Press is struggling to hash out its policies toward bloggers who excerpt the organization's coverage, paidContent.org notes. The news agency attacked a liberal blog that posted snippets from its stories, but an AP exec later told the New York Times he regretted such a "heavy-handed" approach. Still, he's not withdrawing any demands that the blog remove the content.
