Speed and accuracy are competing challenges that newsroom staffers face. As image curators, we are responsible for clarity in visual reporting and speed of posting. The internet appears to offer a wide range of images for publication, but copyrights limit the options of what is available despite the ability to right-click.
Explore the tenets of fair use through recent copyright infringement cases, like the Brammer v. Violent Hues case in April 2019. This webinar will offer guidelines about how to obtain, source, and secure license agreements for images that appear in your publication.
What Will I Learn
- Examine and distinguish what constitutes fair use of images
- Make sense of image restrictions and what they mean
- Source photos responsibly amid the shifting ground of social media
