Syndication rules

How partners may use VINI reporting

Canonical citationUse the story URL on this site as the canonical citation when referencing original VINI reporting.

Summaries and excerptsQuote or summarize within fair-use limits with visible attribution and a direct link back to the story.

Full republicationFull-story republication, photo reuse, commercial packages, and database reuse require written permission or a destination-specific agreement.

Cross-postingEditor-approved cross-posts should point readers and search engines back to the canonical VINI URL when the destination supports canonical links.

Story packetsEditors may prepare a packet with headline, summary, canonical URL, source links, image-rights notes, response status, and contact details.

Right of replyOfficial responses, corrections, and rights notices should use the dedicated routes so the newsroom can preserve the review record.
