“Nielsen Business Media has revised its new standard contract for freelance photographers and illustrators in response to protests from photographers associations.

The updated contract more clearly defines standard usage terms and includes a 15 percent supplemental fee to cover reuses of Nielsen content, such as inclusion in databases. Fees for promotional reprints will now be negotiated case by case.

Specific changes to the contract :
* Standard use rights are more clearly defined.

* The contract provides for a prepaid supplemental 15 percent fee to cover expanded usage of the images, such as when Nielsen publications are supplied to database content aggregators and editorial licensees of Nielsen content.

* The agreement does not convey usage rights retroactively; it covers only uses going forward.Read more here
