A couple of papers that you may find of interest looking at this very
issue are listed below. The work was done using a tool developed by
Scott Piao (based on work he was involved in at Sheffield):

text reuse in the newsbooks of the Commonwealth? in Dooley, B (ed.) The
Dissemination of News and the Emergence of Contemporaneity in Early
Modern Europe, Ashgate, Farnham, pp 251-286.

modern English journalism?, in R. Bowen, M. Mobärg and S. Ohlander
