'Journalists & Copyright': A Practical Guide
When journalists put “pen to paper” they are creating more than just a story. They are creating a potentially valuable asset: copyright. That story may be used again and again by media outlets, media monitors, companies, students, educational institutions and book publishers. And every use can mean money in the bank.
Journalists, particularly freelancers, need to know how to protect and manage their copyright to maximise the value from it. This publication will help them learn how. We explain, in plain language, what copyright protection means, what rights journalists have, how ownership of rights is determined – in particular the rules about “split ownership” of employed journalists’ copyright – and how to license the rights.
The other side of the coin is that journalists often want to use other people’s copyright. This publication provides guidelines on what can and cannot be used to help journalists avoid infringing others’ rights.
