NLA and CLA copyright licensing and the guidelines that go with them are standard practice with all Media Monitoring. This article will go through the information you need to navigate this process in the platform and provide a better understanding.

To access coverage directly from its source in the platform, you can simply click on the link icon in either List View or Table View of the Monitoring Inbox.

List View

Table View

However, depending on the source type, some outlets and paywalls, there are different limitations.

Trying to open a PDF, but instead see an unfamiliar login page? That’ll be because you’re trying to view an NLA-licensed ‘eClips’ article. The licence is managed by the NLA, so you will need to contact them to gain access if you don’t already have a login: https://www.nlamediaaccess.com/contact-us

Users will need a Vuelio login to view non-NLA eClips print PDFs.

Print

  • Print coverage metadata and record will always remain on your platform. However, access to the print PDF directly will expire 30 days after arriving on your platform.

  • Licensing requirements affect how much text we can show for coverage from some media outlets within the Monitoring Inbox and news alerts. For NLA and CLA licensed content, a maximum of 256 characters can be shown as a snippet (combination of headline and body text).

  • For NLA content, after 90 days, only the headline of the article is searchable in the platform using keywords. The snippet and body text is not searchable after this period. Tagging is important to help get around this.

Online

  • For NLA content, after 90 days, only the headline of the article is searchable in the platform using keywords. The snippet and body text is not searchable after this period. Tagging is important to help get around this.

  • Tags are the perfect tool to help you quickly organise and disseminate your media monitoring. For analysing your coverage or creating reports, the Tags function helps you identify and easily report information such as Share of Voice.

Broadcast

  • TV and radio clips expire after 30 days. Once a piece has expired, you cannot access the video or audio. The record of the coverage and metadata will always remain on your platform, however.

  • You have the option of downloading broadcast clips, which are available to purchase as a bundle. If you'd like to learn more about this, please contact your account manager for details.

Financial Times

  • Due to licensing restrictions by the Financial Times, FT content is not included in our automated analysis. Relevant FT and FT.com articles are still delivered to your platform as usual and are delivered via news alerts if they meet your search criteria.

  • No other media monitoring content is affected by these restrictions.

Paywalls

  • Some content behind paywalls may not be able to be supplied. Paywalls are managed by the outlet and often require an individual license or subscription; this restriction is industry-wide and not specific to Vuelio. Contact your Account Manager or our Support team if you require more information on a specific media title.

  • We also offer LexisNexis monitoring, a supplementary add-on, which can pick up more paywalled content. Sounds interesting? Chat with your account manager for more information!

News Archive

  • NLA licensed print content is not available in the News Archive. NLA licensed online content (including eClip web content) is available and searchable for 90 days.

  • The full text of NLA online articles are not available.

  • The snippet text of NLA online articles is 256 characters and only available and searchable for 90 days.
