VISUALS
Every article must have a visual -
photo, illustration, cartoon, graphic, artwork, comic strip, etc. –
because visuals are eye-catchers and an article with a visual is much
more likely to be read than an article without a visual.
NOTE
Be VERY careful with the visuals you
send to me for publication. Examiner is a for-profit commercial
venture subject to lawsuits for copyright infringement. You cannot
simply grab any old visual you find on the net for use on Examiner.
Make very certain you comply with the following requirements.
Getty Images. Examiner has a contract with
Getty. I can publish any
photo or other graphic you find that's identified as Getty, Getty
Images, Joe
Blow/Getty Images, etc. Other visuals that specify Public Domain or the
owner gives full reprint rights (including commercial use) are also
okay. Please send me the visual and the link to the source so I can
see it in context.
Your Photos
and Art. These are best of all. Take photos of your events.
Identify the people in your photos so I'll know what's going on. Get
their permission to be published in Examiner.
You retain all rights to your own
submitted materials and it doesn't matter if they were already
published elsewhere or will be published elsewhere in the future.
You deserve credit for your submissions
and I want to give you credit. You can include a title with your name
if you like, such as Jose' Blow, TexMex County LP Treasurer, or
Josephine Blow, President, Libertarian Students of TexMex University.
Videos.
Examiner loves videos. But, again, be careful with copyright
infringement. Don't pull videos off of any old website. Basically, if
you can copy a video's embeded code it's fair game. YouTube and Clip
Syndicate openly supply embeded codes and their usage page explicitly
allows open distribution, including commercial use. So please include
a link to the source of every video you send me or alert me to.
