Newsgathering and breaking news
Clearly many of the images and material we receive will not come with any documented form of consent from the subjects, particularly if they are taken as dramatic events unfold . We will use our usual editorial judgement to decide whether further consents may be needed in order to publish this material.
For example you may wish to ask the following questions:
Does this feature someone in great distress?
Does the material show clearly identifiable children?
Where has the material been taken, e.g. in a public place such as a shopping centre or in their doorway?
Does it show a clearly identified individual having medical treatment?
Does it show or feature activity which appears to be criminal or seriously anti-social?
Is anyone asking for filming to stop?
