Interactive

Interactive media represents a huge opportunity for UK content creators, allowing them to pioneer new ways of engaging with users globally. To ensure the UK is at the forefront of providing content for new platforms, it is crucial to allow and encourage producers to develop their businesses on a sustainable basis.  

Pact therefore aims to help interactive media producers retain rights and a share of revenues from the content they create, as we have successfully done for television producers through the terms of trade negotiated with broadcasters.

Following our successful campaign for the BBC to increase commissioning from external suppliers, Pact has been working closely with the BBC on best practice. The group’s work includes creating a set of frameworks for new media rights, and it has already begun a similar process with other broadcasters and public sector commissioners.

We are also campaigning for Government departments - who are signinifant commissioners of online content - to allow external suppliers to retain and exploit certain secondary  rights to the content that they create. We outlined our proposals in our recent submission to the Government's think tank on convergence:
