EreIamJH writes "Google News is [0]experimenting with meta-tags in an
effort to ensure that the correct news source is credited with an
article. The original-source meta-tag will identify the newspaper that
breaks a story, while syndication-source is for everyone who repeats the
story. Both meta-tags can appear multiple times — for instance an article
that sources information from other articles would include an
original-source tag for each article used in preparing the new article.
While the intention is worthy, I look forward to lots of snarky blogger
fights as journalists vent their hurt feelings for having been omitted as
an original source."
