Curation and Licensing Statement

Informit aggregates licensed content from a wide range of authoritative sources that are reliable, accurate, and trustworthy. We strive to support bibliodiversity by actively seeking to amplify a wide range of voices and perspectives in our selection of content.

To ensure the integrity and quality of the information we provide, we strictly exclude content from predatory publishers, works with unverifiable sources, and content that relies on non-evidence-based opinions.

Informit does not curate for political balance. Our primary standard is source reliability and editorial integrity: peer-reviewed, editorially independent, or evidence-based publications. Beyond that, we include publications that represent significant voices in Australian public and political life, even where they do not meet a strict evidence-based standard. Critical engagement with the perspectives that result is central to Informit’s mission.

We are committed to supporting our partners by offering a sustainable royalty stream to ensure the continued publication of high-quality Australian and global research.

Video Archive

EduTV, TVNews and Explore Media are video archives functioning as a resource centre established to provide ongoing access to Australian and international broadcast content captured under the Screenrights licence. It serves as a formal repository of primary source materials preserved for their education, research and cultural value. The collection is defined by the following principles:

  • Licensed for Education: We capture and host content on behalf of institutions, ensuring a legal and stable environment for analysis and learning.
  • Primary Sources: The archive provides access to a vast range of broadcast “texts,” allowing for authentic inquiry into how Australian identity, news, and storytelling are represented in the media.
  • Safe Institutional Environment: Content is delivered in a secure, ad-free space, shifting the focus from passive viewing to active academic study.
  • A Destination for Inquiry: By hosting these materials within a research ecosystem, we ensure video is engaged with as a subject for rigorous analysis rather than entertainment.
