rights, or any other intellectual property rights of any third person or entity, or violate
any person’s rights of privacy or publicity, and your photograph does not include:

21. 4.4. Images that purport to be “news” photographs, reporting, photojournalism, or

Press Photographers Association (https://nppa.org/code-ethics) in general, as well as
those proposed by UNICEF for ethical reporting on children
(https://www.unicef.org/ceecis/media_1482.html). No people or objects may be
added, rearranged, reversed, distorted or removed from a photograph. If images are
staged, this should be made clear in the written statements and captions. It is

publishing images that expose or identify individuals or groups who may be or may
become vulnerable as a result of the publication of the photographs.

provide such credit line shall not be deemed to be a breach, as long as Photo Fringe
uses its reasonable endeavors to rectify such failure within a reasonable period from
the date of notice of such failure.
