Want to link to APRN’s web content from your site? Great! Please follow ALL of these linking rules:
1. You may link to complete APRN web pages at any time. Links to complete pages hosted on our various servers do not require attribution, as the link itself is the attribution once the viewer lands at our site and can see/validate the source.
2. You may link directly to our online audio files ONLY if you also include a human-readable text link in close proximity to the audio link. This human-readable text link must point to an APRN web page and must clearly refer to APRN as the source of the audio file.
Example 2A:
Listen Now (source: Alaska Public Radio Network)
3. On any web page in which you refer to “APRN” you must also include at least one spelled-out reference to what APRN stands for (”Alaska Public Radio Network”) in close proximity to the first use of the “APRN” reference. This is required because many readers will not know what “APRN” is and need at least one explanation per page.
Example 3A:
Listen to this story from APRN (Alaska Public Radio Network)Example 3B:
News from the Alaska Public Radio Network:
Listen to the story now (APRN)
4. You may not host, re-host or proxy our written or recorded content on your site, servers or systems at any time, except by prior written agreement with APRN. You may link to our content if you follow the rules above.
5. If you would like to get a copy of an APRN audio file for hosting at your site, you can do so by requesting permission — call 907-550-8400 or send us feedback online.
6. Use of our RSS feeds for posting content summaries on your own site is prohibited. However, special permissions may be extended by explicit request.
Keep in mind that APRN and its operator, Alaska Public Telecommunications, Inc. (APTI), retain copyrights over the media we produce and unauthorized duplication or distribution is unlawful, regardless of the fact that we’re a nonprofit public service company. In other words, just because we’re a public media company does not mean our content is public domain (it’s not).
And by the way, we’re pretty generous with licensing content, we just want to be consulted up-front, not after the fact.
So link according to the rules above, and send us comments and questions about anything else.
