| ->> I am curious if any of my colleagues who shoot for newspapers whose content is posted to the web place a credit line ON their photograph, at a lower or side margin. The web-posting program my NYT affiliate uses just heaves up a picture to the web, stripping out IPTC data. Navigate to the jump and there is neither caption nor credit line (for anyone to option-click and save). The same problem exists for photo galleries that are increasingly in demand. My opinion is a line of type on the photo would keep the image, its creator and affiliation and publication together, and makes it clear that it is a copyrighted image. Images on iphones have a credit, in the image. Good for everybody, no? AP does something like this. Anyone else? Web department declares this idea "unfeasible". Is there a better way? Grateful for any suggestions. |
