Duplicate content connundrum

[JamesBSEO]

Hey Mozzers-

I have a tricky situation with one of my clients. They're a reputable organization and have been mentioned in several major news articles. They want to create a Press page on their site with links to each article, but they want viewers to remain within the site and not be redirected to the press sites themselves. The other issue is some of the articles have been removed from the original press sites where they were first posted.

I want to avoid duplicate content issues, but I don't see how to repost the articles within the client's site. I figure I have 3 options:

1. create PDFs (w/SEO-friendly URLs) with the articles embedded in them that open in a new window.

2. Post an image with screenshot of article on a unique URL w/brief content.

3. Copy and paste the article to a unique URL.

If anyone has experience with this issue or any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.

How many articles are you talking about that you are worried could be duplicated on the web? Have you done a search to see what the damage could be?

Is re-writing the old articles a possibility?

Copy and paste the article to a unique URL. Don't worry about having a duplicate copy of 1 other page on the internet. If you really want to be careful, simply add 100 words or so of commentary or response to the bottom of the article, and maybe 30 to 50 words of description above each article (ie: This article was posted at {site} on {date} regarding {topic} and {client}. blah blah blah)

Alright, thanks guys! This client is extremely involved and needs constant attention. I need a beer.

Jaime, I'm a firm believer that there is no duplicate content problem except on-site - I would simply post the article on your site/blog and give a citation/link to the orignial source. I wouldnt bother but you could just post the first half and link on for the rest.

This is after all what Google News does.
