Assignment 3

Using Photographs from the Web

Today more than ever, photographs and other visual media are at our fingertips. Whether it’s through Google Images or Flickr, we have endless visual media available for us to use. Or, do we?

Watch the video Copyright Basics  (http://www.copyright.com/content/cc3/en/toolbar/education/resources/copyright_basics1.html).

Submit a two- to three-page paper (not including the title and reference pages) describing the benefits and challenges associated with having so many visuals available to us today. Describe the ethical and legal implications of using photos and other visual media and describe how these issues can be avoided.

Your paper must be formatted according to APA style as outlined in the approved APA style guide, and you must cite at least two scholarly sources, in addition to the textbook.


Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.
