Media strike deal for Australian cricket rights
A coalition of media organisations including Reuters and Associated Press have ended their boycott of the Australia v Sri Lanka cricket series after reaching a temporary deal over media rights. The News Media Coalition, which includes organisations such as News International, Agence France Presse and Getty had been at loggerheads with sports body Cricket Australia over restrictions to limit photographs and text updates, the retention of intellectual property rights and the introduction of a ‘pre-season’ licence fee. Details of the deal - such as how many picture and text updates can be made per day by agencies - have not been disclosed. ‘The agreement is provisional and expires on December 10 if in the event Cricket Australia tries to limit our normal editorial activities once again,’ said Monique Villa, the managing director media at Reuters.
