Reda posted the following unofficial consolidations last night:
Article 11: https://juliareda.eu/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Art_11_unofficial.pdf
Article 13: https://juliareda.eu/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Art_13_unofficial.pdf
In respect of Article 11, it does provide that:
"3. Articles 5 to 8 of Directive 2001/29/EC and Directives 2012/28/EU and (EU) 2017/1564 shall apply mutatis mutandis in respect of the rights referred to in paragraph 1."
-- that includes the Art 5 exception for purposes such as criticism or review, which I would have thought on most readings of the Berne Convention would comfortably include citation. The purpose of the Art 11 is to give news publishers the same rights as authors, not more rights, so it shouldn't affect our (or anybody else's) ability to cite news articles to any greater extent than existing copyright law affects our ability to cite chapters of books.
There's also a provision that "1. ... These rights shall not apply to private or non-commercial uses of press publications carried out by individual users."
So yes, this would affect commercial services run by individual users. It's unlikely anyone would take action against individual blogposts; but if someone was systematically summarising newspaper content on a monetised blog or website, then conceivably that might catch somebody's eye.
One question is whether there is any interaction between Art 11 and Art 13 -- conceivably the blogging platform would need licences under Art 13.
I think Art 13 probably does apply to the likes of Scribd or academia.edu; but possibly not to a general blogging platform which is not "organising and promoting" "large amounts of protected subject matter" as "one of its main purposes"

I hope she summarized article 11 wrong, otherwise it is *really* bad : "No exceptions are made even for services run by individuals, small companies or non-profits, which probably includes any monetised blogs or websites."
