Will bringing news from other sources to my site damage my website

[ClaireH-184886]

hi my website is www.in2town.co.uk which is a lifestyle magazine and for some time now i have been thinking about bringing in news from other sources but i want to know how this will affect my site.

I have read that by bringing in articles from other sources which will be sources like bbc news, that it can increase visitors but i would like some advice.

What i do not want is for the sites to take away my link juice and for me to drop down the rankings. I also would like people to read the news and hopefully come back to my site.

any advice on this would be great.

There are at least two problems with this....

1. Most news articles are owned by someone and copyright.  You can't republish them without permission and most likely will have to pay a really steep fee.

2. If you republish those articles they will be duplicate content that appears on other sites that are probably a lot more powerful than yours.  As a result they would be filtered from search and you would likely have panda problems.

what i was thinking was, listing the title and the first two sentences but not sure if this would damage my ranking

The site LIfehacker.com does this all the time. They will quote 2-3 sentences from the article, talk about why people should go check out the full article, and than link to it. I don't see anything wrong with that, especially if what you say about the article is unique and valuable.

Noah's Dad has a valuable addition here Diane: "talk about why people should go check out the full article" and adding unique and valuable information to the article. Just two sentences and nothing else really isn't going to cut it or make it a destination place for your readers.

what i was looking at, was for our readers to be able to read local news while on our site, i think i will give it a miss then.
