Which of the following statements is true regarding copyright in news articles?

In the context of copyright law as it applies to news articles, the statement about only the presentation of information being copyrightable is accurate. Copyright protects the specific expression of ideas and information, not the ideas and facts themselves. This means that a journalist's unique way of presenting information—through their choice of words, structure, and style—can be copyrighted.

For example, if two journalists write about the same event, the facts they report are not protected by copyright, but each article's language, structure, and organization are. This encourages creativity and originality in how information is conveyed, even in journalism.

The other options suggest misunderstandings about copyright principles. Ideas and facts are not automatically copyrighted, as copyright does not extend to abstract ideas or factual content. The notion that news articles cannot have copyright restrictions ignores the essential protections that copyright law provides to written works. Lastly, while some titles may have limited protection if they are distinctive, generally, titles alone are not covered by copyright unless they demonstrate significant creativity.
