Can’t you do something about that? I mean, you do want them to publish your photo, right? You just want them to also give you credit.

The article and photo are gone now. Looks like they really just don’t want to give you credit. Shame they have to pull a photo of the kid instead of just giving you credit. Have they done this before?

They’ve never done it before to me, but have done it to other local photograhers. What’s funny is that they did it again today in the paper. Another one of my photos is on page B1 and of course, no credit given.

Have you spoken to them?
You should get a lawyer!

No, haven’t gotten a lawyer or anything. But I sure will tell the RiverKings that next time I give them a photo they are NOT allowed to give it to the Desoto Times!!!

What a horrible way to treat a photographer nice enough to give one away for free. Is the Desoto Times a really big paper there? I looked around their website and it stinks. I just wonder how big a name they are locally there in the Desoto area.

Sometimes people just suck. Don’t let it bug you, just don’t give them any shit anymore.
Gotta love it. The Desoto Times publishes my photo, which was provided to them by the RiverKings PR folks, along with my name and info, and they choose to just call it a “courtesy photo” and be done with it. They published it in Thursday’s paper and online this way. As a “trying my damndest” local photographer, I need to get my credit when it’s due. Sucks when folks want to use my work when I offer to give it to them for nothing more than credit and they choose to use it without giving me my props.
