Cooking Light Signs On With the Registry
January 23, 1997 - Cooking Light, at 1.3-million the
highest-circulation food magazine in the U.S., has become the latest
publication to contract with the Authors Registry to distribute royalties
and fees to freelance writers for reuse of their work.
The magazine, published by Southern Progress Corp. (part of the Time Warner
family), has agreed to pay for the right to reuse freelance-written articles and
recipes on its site on the World Wide Web and in CD-ROMs and other print publications.
"Reuse of material from the magazine is an increasing part of our business,"
explains Cooking Light editor Doug Crichton. "We think freelancers, who
are part of our lifeblood, should be part of those enterprises. We expect the
Registry to smooth the way to making that possible."
Under its contract with contributors, Cooking Light asks for an option to
use published material beyond the standard first use in the magazine, specifying
various payments to be made through the Authors Registry as the options are exercised.
