9. Thursday Bell Ringer
With the following scenarios, write whether it is allowed or not.
A student forgot to take pictures at a soccer game, so she downloads pictures from her friend’s Facebook.
A student dies in a car accident. A yearbook photographer goes to the crash scene, where students have put up a memorial with flowers, stuffed animals and school items. To get a better photo, the photographer rearranges the items.
A student on your yearbook staff starts an official staff blog to increase your staff’s presence among the school community throughout the year. She routinely discusses some of the coverage for that year’s book as it comes together. In a post about the football team’s less- than-stellar season, she wrote, “If our school had a better coach, maybe we’d win some games. Of course, everyone knows the coach was only hired because he’s the superintendent’s brother.”
This is illegal without the written permission of the person who took the picture.
This is photo manipulation. You can do it ONLY if you label the image as an illustration, and not as a news photo that that depicts the scene as-is. If you manipulate photos, whether when taking the photo or using a photo-editing software such as Photoshop, you damage your credibility as a publication that delivers the news or event as it happened.
This is libel. You cannot call out a person in a negative light without their prior written approval.

10. Agenda:
Bell Ringer
Ethics

11. Yearbooks, the Law and You
Because of a miscommunication on your yearbook staff, no one took photos during the state soccer championship game.
The photo editor decides to simply download photos from one team member’s personal Facebook page to use on the spread about the soccer team’s amazing season.
Another staff member thinks it would be humorous to use a picture of the school gym teacher without her knowledge when creating an ad promoting the new local donut shop.
When you produce a yearbook, legal conundrums have a way of finding you.
