Legality question: Rewriting news articles for a blog

    My typical news-story writing session goes like this:

    - Scour the net for interesting topics
    - Find a topic of interest
    - Read article, find related articles and read them
    - Write summary of the event, taking care not to use any language from the source articles

    I just want to make sure that this is perfectly okay. The articles that I post are about recent news events (of course), but the content of the articles themselves is entirely written by me.

    Also, what's the best way to go about citing images?

    Thank you,
    -Phil
