Newsworthy Picture: A public personage or an actual participant in a public event or some newsworthy incident affecting that person has only a limited right of privacy. Thus, persons who are either public figures or who are involved in newsworthy events are usually photographed without permission or model releases. However, definitions of public figures, public places, and newsworthy event are constantly subject to interpretation. There is at least one photographer who was sued by a public figure who got very tired of
Agricultural experiments and the activities of farm organization leaders, too, are considered sufficiently newsworthy to warrant picture coverage.
Your editor will be thankful if you turn in only an occasional newsworthy picture, but if you will give him instead anything resembling complete coverage of your territory, you'll be his boy and he'll give you all kinds of breaks. To give such full coverage, which is your only guarantee of success, you'll have to operate according to a system. Simply keeping a Camera in your car, ready to shoot what you stumble into by accident, is not even a beginning at freelance news work. |
