Newsroom Content Licensing

Hugg Media Group produces original reporting, photography, and video from across Berks County — often covering breaking news, high-profile events, and moments you won’t find anywhere else.

If you’re a newsroom, publisher, or content producer looking to license our material for use in your own coverage, you’re in the right place.


What We Offer:

  • High-resolution photography from breaking news and community events
  • Original video or livestream footage
  • On-the-ground reporting from Reading and greater Berks County
  • Syndication of select written content (on request)

Please Note:

We do not provide photo, video, or article usage for free or “credit only.” Our work is original, time-sensitive, and independently produced. Licensing helps us sustain local journalism and reinvest in future coverage.

  • A link or clear description of the content you wish to license
  • How and where it will be published (online article, TV broadcast, print, etc.)
  • Your organization’s name and editorial contact info
  • Your deadline for needing the asset(s)
  • Your available budget or compensation range — we’re happy to work with realistic editorial budgets
