      I´ve a client who uses news articles about his company in newspaper and other magazines in his blog. It´s fair because he wants to show how how big and important he is when someone check his website but in otherwise he is just copying content from others sites. ( there is lot of original content also)

      Should I use noindex on these pages or use a rel=canonical? We already ask permission and show the font with the link in these cases.

        Instead of using noindex or rel=canonical tags that would redirect link juice away from your page, how about summarising or highlighting important parts of these news articles and congregate them in one page instead? Individual links to the full articles can be placed after the summaries.

        This way, I believe you can still achieve the purpose of showcasing good reviews about the company and keep the page ranked and searchable on Google.
