Ive noticed many newspapers carry items and stories that are not published on the internet (especially here in Europe)

If I want to write about these stories, do i have to give some credit to the newspaper?

example:

should i write :

"It has been reported in the media, that a local man believes he is Elvis..."

or should I write:

"A local man believes he is Elvis...."
source Bristol Herald

What way should the paper be credited, or do I have a right at all to quote a newspaper??

Ps I dont intend copy any text directly from the paper, I will rewrtie myself.

basically you tell about the source(even give link if possible) and re-write the story.
if its on newspaper locally then I can still bet they have their own site and have their archivces on it...

In india I can find most of the local newspaper archives online...

Here's my take...

If you want to talk about a story that is widely reported, I don't think there's any need to mention individual sources. You only need to do that if you want to quote a short extract or if it's unique content.

Just my opinion,
Charlie.
