Creators’ Rights for all

This page presents the NUJ's contributions to the international campaign for creators' rights and Authors' Rights.

In a nutshell: do we want to live in a world where all news and culture are owned and controlled outright by media moguls? Or in one where they are the responsibility of individual creators, from musicians to investigative journalists?
