Finding and verifying eyewitness photographs and videos to report a news event can be a challenge but if you then want to include them in your reporting then you must also get to grips with the four C’s of using content sourced from the social web - Copyright, Control, Crediting and Cash! Adam Rendle is a specialist in copyright law and works with numerous news organisations to help them navigate these new and often unprecedented legal issues. Jenni Sargent will join Adam to bring in the fifth C of conversation; sharing advice for how to seek permission to use eyewitness content and ensuring that you ask the right legal questions whilst remaining considerate of the expectations and intentions of the content owner, and mindful of the potential impact on those depicted in the images.
Organised in association with the First Draft News Coalition.
