Terms of Agreement
By Wesley Horner
None of us would dream of beginning production without such basic tools as a microphone, a recorder, and a decent cable to connect the two. Neither should
we begin work on a production without the basic documents needed to ensure that we have the legal permissions we need to make use of the elements we're
about to record, and the legal agreements that protect our ownership of our work and ensure that we'll get paid.
This introduction is intended as a concise review of some of the basic agreements used by independent radio producers. There's also a template of a term
sheet for negotiating public radio program distribution appended to this article.
Next in the Spotlight: Jen Nathan faces the challenge of taking her microphone to difficult places.

Cool Tool: Get Wikified
Collaborating producers, get it together! PBwiki has become indispensable to AIR, and we have a feeling it will make your life easier, too, and for free. PBwiki let's you store and organize text and files in a central location, accessible to you from anywhere there is an Internet connection. You control who has access to your wiki. You and your cohorts track one another's changes as you go, with automated e-mail notifications that keep everyone up to date. Go ahead! Get wiki-ing! — Erin Mishkin
