I hate to be a downer, regarding a project whose focus is on positive news, but this appears to be entirely built on copyright infringement, and plagiarism. I've only spot-checked a few articles, but those were all tagged "By Ghost", but selecting a unique sentence and searching for that always gave an exact match on other sources.
If you're not writing your own text, you're going to face serious legal issues. Even if you provide adequate attribution (naming the actual author), posting articles that were published elsewhere without the author's explicit permission is copyright infringement.

Good Point regarding the source of the articles. I totally hear where you are coming from. Regarding the colleges and universities, they actually post these articles to publicize the research and I think reposting them helps both people who are looking for a centralized site for all the good news and the educational institution/researchers.
The plan in to write everything (in house) in the future but for right now it really helps with costs to repost other articles from colleges, universities, and journals. I have written a few of the articles myself and like how they have turned out, so the plan will be to write more and more until everything is custom and nothing is reposted. Thank you.
