LION Webinar: Copyright and Fair Use for Journalists
Event Information
Description
When is it OK to take a picture off the web for your post? How much of someone else's piece can you quote when you are doing a news roundup? Can you use someone else's infographic design for your own work if you change the colors and the data are different? When do you have the right to complain--and collect--when someone else takes your stuff? What should you do if someone else claims you infringed on their copyright? U.S. copyright journalists permits a remarkable range of unlicensed use of copyrighted material under the doctrine of fair use. But in this fast-paced climate, it can be nerve-wracking to make the right call. Prof. Patricia Aufderheide has worked with colleagues at the Washington College of Law at American University for more than a decade to clarify how fair use works with professional groups, including journalists. She helped to facilitate the Set of Principles in Fair Use for Journalism. In this webinar, she will address questions you have after reading the Principles and seeing how they match up with your own practice.
This webinar is free for LION members and only $15 for non-members.
