NLA - newspaper licensing agency

The NLA is pleased to announce its investment in a new service – ‘eClips Web’ which will feed data directly from newspaper website content management systems to your services, offering a better solution to you and your clients than traditional web scraping. eClips Web will deliver rich, clean, XML metadata which will include timely delivery of ALL versions of ALL content as it is published to newspaper websites. A licence will provide you with access to the content and permission to supply to clients.

Licensing

From 1st January 2010, whether you opt to use the eClips Web service or not, if you supply web content to your clients on a paid-for basis you will require a licence. For licences and prices please contact mpocock@nla.co.uk.

From 1st January 2010, your clients will also need a licence.  Please refer them to the "clients" section of this website or to their NLA administrator.

eClips Web

eClips Web offers a direct feed of website content from newspaper publishers. The NLA standardises the feeds in order to provide you with XML to support your web monitoring needs. By sourcing content direct and mirroring the established eClips service model, the NLA will offer a number of benefits to media monitoring organisations:

• Timely delivery of all versions of all content as it is published to newspaper websites
• Links back to any specified version of the original article (even if moved)
• An archive “back-up” of each article if the link to the original fails
