The American Society of Journalists and Authors encourages reproduction and distribution of this document for the benefit of freelance writers and photographers, and other publishing content creators. Reprint or post as many items as you wish, but please credit ASJA for the information and don't change the content.

Thanks to Editorial Photographers (EP - www.editorialphoto.com) for periodic information on photographers' contract issues and the Graphic Artists Guild (GAG - http://www.gag.org/contracts/contracts.html) for information about illustrators and contracts.

ASJA and The Authors Guild are investigating whether KeepMedia.com, a new online database of magazine and newspaper articles, has properly acquired the electronic rights to freelance works that it's making available to the public. KeepMedia, funded by Louis Borders (co-founder of the bookstore chain), began operations on Monday, July 28, 2003.

KeepMedia archives articles from Esquire, Family Circle, Forbes, The Detroit Free Press and The Miami Herald, among many other publications, including trades (See the full list of publications offered below.)

If you've written for any of the magazines or newspapers in the following list in the past few years -- the archives generally go back just a few years -- and have retained electronic rights to some of those works, please visit www.keepmedia.com, sign up for the free trial, and see if any of your works appear at the site.

If you believe your rights have been infringed, please send an e-mail with the details to the ASJA Contracts Committee at contracts@asja.org. This is purely exploratory at this phase. We're not accusing KeepMedia of any wrongdoing.

Feel free to pass this request on to other freelancers or post it on writers' bulletin boards.
