Republish our journalism
Our reporting can travel further with you. Here is what you may do freely, what needs a licence, and how to ask for one.
What you may do without asking
- Link to any of our stories, with a headline and a short summary in your own words.
- Quote a few sentences, in quotation marks, with a credit to Rational Times and a link to the story.
- Share our stories on social media using the share buttons on each page.
What needs a licence
- Republishing a whole story, or most of it, in print, online, on air or in a newsletter.
- Translating a story into another language for publication.
- Using our own photographs, graphics or video.
Our usual terms
- The credit line “By [reporter], Rational Times” at the top, and a link to the original story.
- No changes that alter the meaning. You may shorten for space and fix house style.
- Corrections we publish must be carried in your copy too.
- Pictures from news agencies or other photographers in our stories are not ours to license — ask them.
- The fee depends on the use and your audience; members of our network who wrote the story share in it.
