BBC To Share Video With Newspapers
The BBC is to share some of its video news material with newspaper websites for the first time.
Four national newspapers - the Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph, Guardian and Independent - will be able to use content free of charge.
The BBC said the move was the best way to sustain public-service content.
The BBC's media correspondent Torin Douglas said the agreement, which begins on Tuesday, marked something of a thaw in relations between the Corporation and commercially-funded media.
Other newspaper websites could sign up later, he said.
The BBC already has a video sharing agreement with YouTube which allows the site to screen short clips of its content.
In return for sharing its material, the BBC receives a share of the advertising revenue generated by traffic to the YouTube channels.
