Apply for this licence
If you are a client of a media monitoring organisation (‘MMO’) and receive news alerts and links to online newspaper and magazine articles, you generally need a Web End User Licence from NLA Media Access Limited.
Generally, a Web End User Licence permits you to make copies internally to:
- receive Media Monitoring Materials from the MMO
- receive and display each article on screen
- make one paper copy of each article
The application form can be found at: Web End User Licence - NLA Media Access
