Questions about Newsletters, Fair Use, and copyright

[Chris Grenzig]

So my question is in regard to starting a newsletter to send out to investors, potential investors, and other contacts to create some engagement and give them more value. What I would like to do is find interesting articles from the last month or week or even day if I got that crazy (probably not) and either give 1-3 paragraph excerpts or paraphrase and use some quotes. My issue when googling stuff surrounding it is the legality in all this; I've read some things about Fair Use, but haven't felt comfortable after what I've read so far. I'm uncertain if using an excerpt and linking back to the article or even proper MLA/APA citation would prevent a copyright lawsuit (god forbid). Any help or pointing in the right direction would be incredible.
