 Adman Ernie Schenck coined the phrase "creative no-fly zones" to describe places where copywriters and other creatives shouldn't go in their work. The no-fly zone encompasses ideas that are not only tacky, but likely to offend the public. One example Schenck cited was an Ohio car dealer whose ads promised customers "a jihad of savings!"

 Black Star Rising received the following question from a reader, Darren Gibbins of Fargo, N.D. --
Can you tell me what legal rights I have to publish images I've made throughout my photojournalistic career on my website? Some have suggested that the images belong to the various newspapers I've worked for. I've also been told websites are considered editorial content and I am free to use my images on a site to promote my photography with or without a newspaper's consent. Please help.

 What happens when the teacher goes back to school? Where I teach, in the School of Journalism at the University of South Carolina, we're bullish on video. Under the fearless leadership of Professor Van Kornegay, our sequence head, we strive to incorporate video instruction into most of our visual-communication courses. For example, in Introduction to Visual Communications, we have our students work in groups of four to produce short videos on the various topics covered in the course. We then start each class session by showing the video that relates to the topic of the day. Through this exercise, the students get their hands on a video camera -- some for the first time -- and also learn basic editing and audio skills using iMovie.

Copyright infringement is much too common these days. To reap the big statutory rewards (of at least $750 and up to $150,000 for willful infringements, plus costs and attorneys' fees) from prosecuting infringements, you must have registered your photograph with the U.S. Copyright Office prior to the infringement or within three months of publishing it (making it available to the public).

 I saw an interesting snippet in the news last month that total ad revenue across print media had actually declined; it was reported as a "first." Whether a first or not, it's significant. It explains why newspapers are working so frantically to expand their Web sites -- and why they are asking photographers to expand their skill sets. The good news is that the Internet gives news gatherers some exciting new options for presenting stories with multimedia and video.

 I've made images of probably over a thousand artists and musicians over the nearly two decades I've been making images. In fact, I am shooting a performance of a well-known '80s band on Monday for a client. On these assignments, I maintain my rights to these images, as well as preclude any conditions to my exercising those rights. An article in the New York Times yesterday shed light on why this business practice is a good idea.
