Obtaining and Using Times Content

Yes. With the limited exceptions described on this page, all use of New York Times content (text, photographs, graphics, etc.) requires the permission of The New York Times.

Please be advised that when articles or photographs are credited to a source other than The New York Times (such as the Associated Press, Reuters or AFP), it is most likely that the credited source holds the rights to the material. Please contact that party directly.

The following list summarizes common requests for permission:

• In most contexts, rights to use article text only (without photographs, graphics, etc.) can be obtained instantly by clicking the Reprints link that appears on most article pages on NYTimes.com.
• Corporate photocopying and the use of Times content in academic course packs and other classroom contexts are handled by the Copyright Clearance Center, www.copyright.com.
• To use article text with accompanying photos or graphic elements (charts, maps, etc.), complete the permission request form or contact PARS International at (212) 221-9595, extension 210.
• The permission form can also be used for text-only requests.
• For permission to use Times photos only, call Redux Pictures at (212) 253-0399.

The "E-Mail This Article" feature that appears on most article pages allows you to distribute an article by e-mail to up to 20 recipients. The use of this feature is limited to personal, noncommercial purposes only.

If you would like to e-mail an article for any other purpose or to more than 20 recipients, you must request permission as described above.

For information about sending links to NYTimes.com articles via e-mail, review the Frequently Asked Questions About Linking.

Under certain circumstances, it is permissible to make direct quotes from New York Times articles. The context, number and length of the quotes will determine whether permission is required. It is never acceptable to selectively quote from articles in a manner that changes their meaning, to take quotes out of context or to combine quotes to create a sentence. It may also be considered infringement if a large percentage of the publication consists of quotes from New York Times articles. It is always best to submit a request for clearance.

Editing and adaptation of New York Times content is generally not permitted, and must be approved by The New York Times.

Use of article excerpts is possible with permission from The New York Times, without alteration to the intended meaning of the original text.

Headlines and summaries, as well as various article metadata, are also available through Times APIs. Visit our Developer Network to learn more about APIs.

For permission to use a screen shot or other page image, please use the permission request form or call The Times's text licensing agent, PARS International, at (212) 221-9595, extension 210.

We do not provide a research service. To request a reprint of an article, you must first gather all the necessary information about the article, such as headline and date published. For information about searching for articles (including archived articles back to 1851), see Searching NYTimes.com.
