My understanding is, that it is always better to have a release, but if
something is a news item a release is not required, and if profit is not
being made from the picture a release is also not required. A free-lance
photographer who takes a picture for a museum must get a release because
this photographer is making money from that shot by selling it to the
museum. A staffer at a museum taking a picture for a newsletter does not
need to get a release because it is news and/or because the staffer is not
making money from that shot.

Subject: rules for photos of museum outreach on website

Hi All:
What kinds of permissions does one need to post photos of museum outreach
programs that show little kids? I'm guessing I should have gotten a release
ahead of time, but if i didn't, is it allowable to post photos on our site
(w/out names, of course) that show our school and library programs in
action?
Thanks,
Alexandra
