I do understand that Copyright Law prohibits the alteration of the body of text, but as I said in my post this is exactly why I am not a big fan of automatic news aggregators. The JEMS Editor could have removed the first paragraph and perhaps written an original ending to the piece. Citing copyrighted material does not mean that you have to repeat the entire piece word for word.

I would also ask that your Editorial Board reconsider the value of posting news reports from outside agencies with this terminology. By doing so it appears that you are in fact condoning the practice.

Thanks for the feedback.

We wanted to clarify, however, that by copyright law, we cannot alter the content owned by another publisher. That means JEMS editors can headlines, because those are not copyrighted material, but we cannot change the body copy. We understand that such terms as "ambulance driver" are incorrect and outdated, but we have made an editorial decision to continue posting news reports that contain these terms because we feel the newsworthiness and timeliness of the content often outweighs these errors.
