Creative Commons Q&A: How can journalists get the most out of it?
Journalists, like anyone, can use CC in two different ways.
Firstly, when releasing their work online, they should consider releasing it under a CC licence. It is now inevitable that people are going to share work, print it out, translate it and so on.
By using a CC licence, a journalist can indicate that they are okay with these uses of the work instead of just turning a blind eye to them.
Depending on the publisher of their work, this may be easier than most journalists think. All that is required is putting a notice and a link to one of our licences at the bottom of an article.
The second way journalists - and everyone else for that matter - can use CC licences is to find work to build upon.
