The News/Media Alliance’s AI Licensing Program is designed to help publishers monetize their content through pre-negotiated licensing agreements.
Today, AI platforms are not driving traffic back to publisher websites, and the trend is worsening. Referral traffic dropped nearly threefold in Q4 2025, while bots now account for 1 in every 31 visits. To address this growing challenge, the News/Media Alliance is proud to offer our AI Licensing Program*, a voluntary, opt-in program allowing publishers to monetize their content through pre-negotiated licensing agreements. It is especially valuable for publishers that may not have the time or resources to negotiate directly with AI companies.
