The New Humanitarian puts the bulk of its articles under Creative Commons licence - Jacob Granger, Journalism

The New Humanitarian (TNH) is to make most of its articles free to republish under the Creative Commons licence. Visitors to the website will see a "republish this article" link at the top of certain stories from 2023 onwards, which can be republished under certain guidelines. The link provides an HTML version of the article's content and an embeddable tracking pixel which must both be used. "Ultimately it’s a mission-driven decision, not a commercial one," explains Isabelle Roughol, director of audience and revenue development, TNH, in an email to Journalism.co.uk.
