Many thanks to those who responded to my query. Here's a summary for your information.
It seems that many newspapers will refuse to deal directly with individual organisations and will refer to the NLA. The reason for this is that the local newspaper may not own the rights to all the content it publishes and being a member of the NLA avoids the need to deal directly with institutions. However, the CLA tell me if permission is granted there is no need to take out a NLA licence.
Regarding point 2, as responses rightly say, newspapers are excluded from the CLA licence. However one copy of an article can be copied under fair dealing (assuming it is for non-commercial research or private study).
Kind regards
Donna

There were a couple of postings back in June by Ruth Malaney and Professor Oppenheim discussing the NLA. My College is currently debating whether or not to renew the licence and I wondered if anyone can provide clarification on the following:
1. If we obtain direct written permission from a local newspaper to copy articles the licence can be avoided.
2. One article can be copied from a newspaper under the CLA licence.
Many thanks
