PDNOnline reports that USA Today has a new contract for freelance photographers that basically gives Gannett full rights to use the photos in any medium forever in exchange for a $100 rise in the daily fee.
The shooter retains the copyright to the photos, and can license them to other media outlets after a 30-day exclusive period, but USAT’s license effectively shuts off a number of outlets under the Gannett umbrella.
I don’t have much to say about the actual details, except that it’s indicative of a buyer’s market for photojournalism.
