Syndication norms eased for newspapers

Our Bureau

NEW DELHI, June 11

THE Government has decided to allow registered Indian newspapers to enter into syndication arrangements with foreign newspapers using the automatic route upon fulfilment of certain conditions.

Currently, Indian publications could enter into syndication arrangements only after prior approval from the Information & Broadcasting Ministry.

Under the new rules, only cases involving relaxation of guidelines would require prior approval from the Ministry.

According to the rules, the total material procured and actually printed in an issue of the Indian publication should not exceed 7.5 per cent of the total printed area of that issue, the syndicated material does not include full copy of the editorial page or the front page of the foreign publication, the masthead of the content provider publication cannot utilised in the Indian publication, credit to the content provider is necessarily given prominently as a byline in the Indian publication and the material procured under syndication arrangement should be such that it has already been published in the content provider publication.
