A number of internet news sites in Armenia have reached an agreement on conditions regarding the reproduction of materials from other sources.

Recently, news site editors have complained that their source materials (articles, photos, etc) have been widely reproduced without proper authorization and/or reference.

The editors have agreed that from now on if they use the materials of others they will list the name of the source in the first sentence and provide a hyperlink to the site.

They also have agreed not to reproduce the article in its entirety so that readers will be forced to refer to the original source if they wish to read the full piece.

These same conditions will also apply to video materials.

In addition, the name of reporter/writer of the original piece must be mentioned if and when such an author exists.

The following sites have agreed to the above terms of usage: www.aravot.am, www.armlur.am, www.armversion.am, www.asekose.am, www.galatv.am www.haynews.am, www.irates.am, www.panorama.am, www.report.am, www.shamshyan.com, www.tert.am, www.times.am, www.yerkir.am, www.168, www. 1lur.am
