Have the rules changed?  I was taught in grade school that when you're indicating a possession on a noun that already happens to end with an 's', you only have to affix an apostrophe, like so:

e.g. 1:
Quote
You must be logged in to read this quote.

So as to avoid unnecessary repetition.  

Yet it seems journalists are putting in an extra 's':

e.g. 2:
Quote
You must be logged in to read this quote.

Am I wrong?
