What's your photo use policy?

An SNPA member needs your help!  We'll be happy to share the collection of responses with everyone who responds and shares information about their policy with us.

We have never developed a digital image usage/resale policy, and requests for use of photos are becoming more and more common.

Currently, we still sell prints to people, although that business is dying off. We have a loose understanding that we'll share images with non-profits for use on their website. And whenever possible, we'll ask people to link to our story on our website, rather than giving them a digital copy.

But we're starting to get more requests from businesses that have ribbon cutting ceremonies which we cover. Are any newspapers releasing digital copies of pictures, or are they holding fast to a pay-per-print model? Ribbon cuttings, in particular, are a challenge because they're kind of a collaborative with the Chamber, so we would share with the Chamber if they wanted us to.
