FAIR USE Small parts of articles may be used without permission in reviews, or quoted, following the usual ‘fair use’ rules. See Wikipedia:

“Fair use is a doctrine in United States copyright law that allows limited use of copyrighted material without requiring permission from the rights holders, such as use for scholarship or review. It provides for the legal, non-licensed citation or incorporation of copyrighted material in another author's work under a four-factor balancing test. The term "fair use" originated in the United States, but has been added to Israeli law as well; a similar principle, fair dealing, exists in some other common law jurisdictions. Civil law jurisdictions have other limitations and exceptions to copyright. “ For further information see Wikipedia: Fair use.

PRESS RELEASES may be used and incorporated, with reduced concern about copyright issues, i.e., while direct copying is strongly discouraged, the substance of the press release can be incorporated so long as a few changes are made.
