Landon,
Thanks again for carrying Wikinews content. As I've said, the purpose of our licensing our content under the free CC-BY license is to allow easy reuse of that content.
The terms of the CC-BY license, however, do require that each story copied from Wikinews include direct attribution -- a simple "This story from Wikinews" with a link to the site (or ideally the original story) would be most appropriate.
I imagine by now that someone else from Wikinews has written you, but I thought I would write again as we had corresponded before.
We are very pleased that you have chosen to reuse Wikinews content, but understand that it is important that the proper attribution be provided.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions about Wikinews or reusing our content.
My best to you, -Chiacomo

I'm browsing with Firefox... I don't see a link, but perhaps I'm overlooking it.
Thanks for your support of the WMF and Wikinews!

Chiacomo, thanks for your concern. I don't know if you noticed, but we incorporate a link to Wikinews on each article that we use.
If I had my way, we would use the WikiNews logo... but I don't know if that would fly with Wiki.
Thank you for your comments. I am a financial supporter of Wikipedia and the entire Foundation. We hope to continue to use Wikinews for years to come.

I have noticed that you have posted several articles from Wikinews on your website, juicenewsdaily.com.
Under the current CC-BY license, attribution to Wikinews is required to reuse our free-content. We are VERY pleased that you have chosen to use our articles on your site -- this is exactly the purpose of the Wikinews project.
If you wouldn't mind making a brief attribution statement (and possibly a link) to Wikinews, it would be most appreciated.
Please let me know if there is anything I (or we) can do to facilitate your using articles from Wikinews on your website.
My best to you,
-Chiacomo
