2014 Special Contributors Survey

To facilitate NLA media access licensing, publishers grant rights to license the copying of all content in their newspapers and websites.

Because of the demands of multi-platform publishing, most publishers have developed rights management processes which clear the rights necessary for the purposes of NLA licences at the point of commission. But for those publishers that cannot confirm that they have cleared all necessary rights beyond the rights for initial publication, or who choose to be verified, NLA media access operates a survey to calculate what portion of their NLA licensing revenue is due to  freelance contributors or agencies: “The Special Contributors’ Scheme”. 

The results of the latest survey are published today.
