I wanted to ask if it is legal to copy a newspaper article into a portal and at the end write like the author and the name of the newspaper.
Citing a source would allow you to use it for non-commerical works such as research. If you want to make money off of it, get something in writing from the newspaper.
No you can't use copyrighted material without the consent of it's owners. Doesn't matter if it is commercial use or not.
Absolutely not. And newspapers are particularly strict about using their copyrighted articles without permission. However, it's not that hard to get permission. Just ask...

You can't use copyrighted material (text, pictures, video, mp3s included) without the consent of it's owners. Remember that steganography is used for evidence - they can prove it is not your material.
What about all the blogs that links back to the main article of the newspaper? I do it all the time. Is that illegal?
From my understanding, it is perfectly legal to use parts of the article on your blog in order to comment on the article. It falls under fair use. Just make sure you do cite where the article came from or else you'll be like Biden.
Commentary is fair use of a copyrighted work but only in certain circumstances. You can only use nominal portions of the work (use the smallest portion that you can to make your point) and you need to cite the original work as being the source of the material. Let me know if you have other questions.
