Comments on: Andy Piper: Chasing the Daily Mail for Flickr attribution http://blogs.journalism.co.uk/2009/06/25/andy-piper-chasing-the-daily-mail-for-flickr-attribution/ Online journalism news Tue, 24 Jan 2012 19:16:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Commenters accuse Mail of image misuse – a bigger missed opportunity for publishers? | Journalism.co.uk Editors' Blog http://blogs.journalism.co.uk/2009/06/25/andy-piper-chasing-the-daily-mail-for-flickr-attribution/comment-page-1/#comment-22618 Commenters accuse Mail of image misuse – a bigger missed opportunity for publishers? | Journalism.co.uk Editors' Blog Fri, 11 Dec 2009 13:12:12 +0000 http://blogs.journalism.co.uk/editors/?p=11443#comment-22618 [...] This is not the first time the Mail’s use of online images has been challenged, but issues of copyright aside, Kevin Anderson suggests that there is a bigger opportunity being missed by newspapers at large (scroll down to the comments): “[T]his is another example of the news industry missing an opportunity to build community around what they do.

It’s not only a way to use nice photos, but it’s also a way to build goodwill to what we’re doing and do a little soft touch promotion of our coverage. It takes a minutes out of my day to create that email, but instead of a backlash, I often get a thank you. They let their friends know that the Guardian has used their picture. It’s brilliant for everyone.
