I read some article today on NYT and I think is a good material for an adaptation but I don't know how is the process to that. I mean, what is the person I need to talk to make this? Cause somebody has to have the copyright of the article. Is the author? or NYT?
I don't know how is the process but if somebody here has the info, thanks.
Money offers and Lawyer to Lawyer rights negotiations. I think NY Times owns rights to published articles, regardless if Journalists are staffed or freelanced.

NYT owns the rights to the article, but not to the story and it's fact. Do your own research, interview the people involved, and develop your own slants for your adaptation.
