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.
