[WikiEN-l] Online Newspapers Considering Subscription Model

[wjhonson at aol.com]

David that isn't what I stated.
I said if it lives *exclusively* online.  The word exclusive means 
solely, only, alone, uniquely.
If the item has been printed in some format, it would not be an 
exclusively online item so Part A would not apply to it.

Not at all. Quite expensive limited-run books or journals are suitable
for citation if they're good sources; the same would apply to news
articles.
