Article 34 makes lawful the reproduction, distribution, and communication to the public of the news of the day, or other information about newsworthy facts and events, once they have already been publicly disseminated by the press or by broadcasting; a paragraph extends this to reproducing and making available, in connection with reporting on a current event, works seen or heard in the course of that event, to the extent justified by the informational purpose.

Article 33, as replaced by Article 37 of Law No. 424-06, permits the press to reproduce, and broadcasting or transmission by wire to the public to carry, current-affairs articles of economic, political, or religious discussion published in newspapers or periodicals, and broadcast works of the same character, where the reproduction, broadcast, or transmission has not been expressly reserved, and it requires the source always to be clearly indicated.

A paragraph of Article 33 also lets works that are to be seen or heard in the course of a current event be reproduced and made accessible to the public, to the extent the informational purpose justifies, when the event is reported by photography, cinematography, broadcasting, or transmission by wire. Law No. 424-06 took effect together with the Dominican Republic-Central America-United States Free Trade Agreement. That Agreement took effect for the Dominican Republic on .

Article 35 permits publishing, as current news and without authorization, speeches delivered in deliberative assemblies, judicial debates, or before public authorities, and public conferences, speeches, or sermons whose rights have not been expressly reserved, though such works may not be published in a separate collection without the author's authorization.
