Tips for Using Free Programming
You should carefully consider the impact of any free programming on your audience, your advertisers, and your legal status vis-a-vis the government, regulatory agencies, and local authorities. You should also read Why We Post Documents from Government and Other Self-Interested Sources.
If you conclude that your use of free programming from sources you consider reliable would benefit your audience and support freedom of expression, our web site has links to affiliate and marketing web pages of some of the major international broadcasters.
Please note that we do not guarantee that the information provided by international broadcasters or other news and information sources whose links may appear on FreeMediaOnline.org is always accurate, balanced, timely, and useful for your individual needs.

Most international broadcasters encourage and support free use and rebroadcasting of their on-air programs and web content. Some allow use of individual audio and video reports but may not promote such use. Any rebroadcasting or other use of material received from information providers is always subject to terms and conditions.
Not all international broadcasters are equally good in explaining the terms of their affiliation process, providing support, and allowing use of individual reports rather than airing entire programs. Such information is often difficult to find and not all forms of cooperation are fully explained. Only a few broadcasters actively encourage information sharing and joint projects with independent journalists.
FreeMediaOnline.org works with international broadcasters and other information providers to make their information resources more accessible and free to independent journalists in media-at-risk countries. We are also encouraging these institutions to make their rebroadcasting and re-publishing policies more transparent and be more willing to engage in cooperative projects with independent media outlets abroad. We will let you know on our web site about any outcome of these efforts.
If you are interested in free programming for broadcast use, you should contact international broadcasters and other information providers directly. If you have problems communicating with these broadcasters or need additional information, send an email to: contact@freemediaonline.org, and we will try to answer your questions.
