Copyright for Journalists

Kate Fox For Thompsons or Phil Sutcliffe & Humphrey Evans
Find out how freelance journalists (and staff)
can benefit from knowing the nuts and bolts of copyright

When you write an article or take a photograph or put together a broadcast as a freelance journalist, you start off owning the copyright in what you create. That copyright is effectively what you trade in when you allow different media/publishing companies to use your work in return for paying your fee – and the more you know about how to protect and exploit your work, the more income you are likely to make from it. During this course, the NUJ’s Copyright lawyer will outline what you need to know about copyright.

During the day you will cover:

  • The basic principles of copyright in the UK and elsewhere
  • The rights you have as a freelance creator of articles, photographs or broadcasts and what they signify
  • How the rights you have can be used and enforced
  • First British Serial Rights, one use only and other ways of allocating the use of your work by media, territory
    and time
  • Permitted uses of copyright
  • Words and clauses to watch out for in contracts
  • The difference between selling your work outright when you assign copyright (generally bad) and hiring it
    out when you license various uses of your work (generally good)
  • What moral rights are and when they apply
  • What you and the NUJ can do if others infringe your copyright by using your work without permission
  • Question & Answer session when you can ask for further advice


Who should attend
Freelance journalists with an interest in taking more control of their work and increasing their income plus staff journalists wanting to know what is significant to their freelance contributors or thinking of going freelance themselves

Qualifications
A desire to find out more about the ins and outs of copyright

Expected learning outcomes

  • An understanding of what copyright involves and how it affects freelance journalists
  • An appreciation of how knowing about copyright can help freelance journalists better exploit their work


Further courses to consider
Freelances and would-be freelances can benefit from going on the one-day seminars Getting Started As A Freelance (for those at the beginning of their freelance life) and Pitch And Deal (for people who want to market their work better and make more money). Think too about the course on how to use the Freedom of Information Act.
