You really don't need regular expressions for this:

>>> import os
>>> eol = os.linesep
>>> text = '''
... NETHERLANDS MUSIC EPA | 36 before
... Michael Buble performs in Amsterdam Canadian singer Michael Buble
performs
... during a concert in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 30 October 2009.
Buble
... released his new album entitled 'Crazy Love'. EPA/OLAF KRAAK
... '''
>>> text = text.strip() # remove eol markers
>>> subject = text.split(' | ')[0]
>>> content = ' '.join(text.split(eol)[1:])
>>> subject
'NETHERLANDS MUSIC EPA'
>>> content
"Michael Buble performs in Amsterdam Canadian singer Michael Buble
performs during a concert in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 30 October
2009. Buble released his new album entitled 'Crazy Love'. EPA/OLAF
KRAAK"
