When a citizen journalist, stringer, or independent publisher submits original reports, footage, or photographs to Nagrik:

• You Retain Ownership: You retain full copyright and intellectual property rights in all original text, photos, and video dispatches you create.

• Third-Party Commercialization: Because the license is non-exclusive, you remain free to license, sell, or broadcast your original camera footage to third-party television networks, documentary producers, or news publishers.

Nagrik respects third-party intellectual property rights. Material authored by third parties may only be included in news dispatches when:

• The publisher holds explicit written permission or a valid commercial license.
• The use falls strictly within statutory Fair Dealing for News Reporting under Section 52(1)(a) of the Indian Copyright Act, 1957 or fair use under international copyright law.
• Proper attribution and citation of the original source is clearly displayed.
