Word Count: Your article must be between 500 and 600 words.    

 

Images:  All articles must be submitted with TWO photos.  Both photos must have a caption and a photo credit detailing the source of the photo.  This is also even if you took the photo yourself.  

 

When formatting your caption and photo credit please ensure they follow this format below the photo.  

Caption A : Image caption here
[Source: images sources here]

Caption B: Image caption here

[Source: images sources here]

 

***** the BRACKETS [  ] ARE VERY IMPORTANT!

 

If you are the author and you also took the photos you are submitting, format your caption and photo in this manner. 

Caption A: Image caption here

[Source: Author, First and Last Name]

 

Lastly, if you are submitting an article that is a report of an event that you attended, PLEASE try and include photos of the actual event.  It is not customary for articles to publish generic photos with events. 

 

Note on Images:

Images cannot be taken from “just anywhere”. They must be images that we have permission to use.  Here are some acceptable sources.

 

• Associated Press Images

The Korea Daily has license to use AP images in its papers. Thus, you may use AP images.

 

The easiest way to find an AP image using Google is to search for what you want along with the keywords “associated press”. Then, follow the link to see the original image and make sure that it’s been credited to the Associated Press. In your image credits, include the photographer’s name as well as AP. 

 

Example:
[Source: Associated Press, Photographer’s Name]

 

**Do not use images from other image service companies such as Reuters, Getty, or AFP.

 

• Old Images

Illustrations or photographs taken before 1930 are usually not under copyright protection.

 

• Government Images

Images created by agents of the United States Government during the course of their duty are in the public domain. US Government sites end with “.gov”. Government images include photos taken by NASA, photos taken by official White House photographers, unclassified military images, and even some scientific diagrams. Make sure to check the legality of using images created by governments not in the United States.

​

• Public Relations Photos and Illustrations

Companies and other organizations typically include banks of public relations images on their websites. These are created for the explicit purpose of being used by news organizations. 

 

• Logos and Screenshots

You are free to use the logo of a product that is being featured in the issue, as well as screenshots from websites that you are referencing.

 

• Wiki Commons

http://www.commons.wikimedia.org

Wiki commons includes a large amount of user-uploaded photos, many of which have been released for use. Before using images from Wiki Commons, look underneath it for information about permission to use. If an image is listed as public domain, or if it has creative commons license, you may use it as long as it’s credited. 

 

• Self-created Images

You are always, more than welcome to use drawing, photographs, or other images that you have created yourself.
