Our rela- tionship with our readers is built on transparency, hon- esty and integrity. As such, we have launched a trust initiative to tell you who we are and how and why we do what we do. This article is part of that project. The news is yours. The way we tell it is ours. Let me explain. At its core, the role of a journalist is to share what they know with the public. And yet, the work they pro- duce - be it a quick story on a collision that closed a highway during rush hour or an in-depth series on toxic substance use - is sub- ject to copyright. Under Canada's Copy- right Act, copyright gives an individual or organiza- tion who owns a work like a news story "the sole right to produce or reproduce that work or any substan- tial part thereof in any ma- terial form." No one is allowed to copy or reproduce copy- righted work without the owner's permission. To put it another way, the information or news or facts contained within an article published in our newspapers or on our web- site is considered part of the public domain, but the words and sentences our journalists use to tell that story are not. What does this mean for you as a reader and sharer of community news? Here's an example: If you're read- ing this column on our website and you want to share it with your Face- book friends, you can share a link to the column and some information about it, such as "I read this column on journalism copyright and wanted to share." But you shouldn't copy and paste the entire article on your Facebook page. The same holds true for break- ing news, council stories or court reporting. Beyond the legal issues involved, copying and sharing journalists' work in this way threatens their ability to continue to do that work. Journalism is expensive, requiring time and expertise to produce. An organization's exclu- sive right to that content helps cover the cost. Requiring readers to register on our website by providing their name, email address and postal code to get access to our lo- cal news and information - as I wrote in a previous col- umn - is a key part of our business model. We use the trends that emerge from that data to help guide us in the issues you want to read, and how we present that in- formation to you. It allows us to ensure our online ad- vertisers that they are reaching an engaged local audience. We define ourselves through this partnership with our readers. In short, for us to keep bringing you the news, everyone has to come to us to get it. Lee Ann Waterman is editor-in-chief of Torstar Community Brands, York Region and chair of Tor- star Community Brand's trust committee. You can reach her at lwater- man@yrmg.com. We welcome your ques- tions and value your com- ments. Email our trust committee at trust@met- roland.com. WHO OWNS THE NEWS?
