GRNW News Website Definition Update

The Copyright Office implemented a final rule that changes the definition of a news website. Effective August 13, 2026, a news website is a website that is primarily designed to be a source of written information on current events, either local, national, or international in scope.

All relevant application and help screens have been updated to reflect this change.
