WHAT CAN BE CATEGORIZED AS 'REPORTING OF NEWS'? AND STEEMIT STUPID F*CKERS TRYING TO CENSOR ME

What can be categorized as the 'reporting of news'?

In considering whether a work has been used for the purpose of reporting news, it will be important to consider whether the main purpose for the use of the work was for the purpose of reporting news, or associated with, reporting news. If it seems that the primary purpose for the use of the work is something other than reporting news, then it will probably fall outside the exception.

The Courts have held that the reporting of news:

includes the reporting of recent events and can extend to information relating to past events not previously known;
is not restricted to the reporting of recent events, provided there is a genuine news component;
can relate to long term reviews or commentary.
