Editor of Runners World released a statement about the NEWSWEEK cover:
runners world ^ | November 17, 2009 | BigTigerMike

Posted on 11/17/2009 7:37:04 PM PST by Bigtigermike

On the cover of this week’s issue of Newsweek is a photo that was shot for the August 2009 issue of Runner’s World, in which Sarah Palin was featured on the monthly “I’m a Runner” back page. Runner’s World did not provide Newsweek with the image. Instead, it was provided to Newsweek by the photographer’s stock agency, without Runner’s World’s knowledge or permission.

It is very odd Runner’s World would have....

You gotta be in the first ten rows to enjoy the show.

They put Palin on the cover in a pair of shorts with hopes that conservative men would buy it. But the declaration that Sarah is a problem for the US will turn them off.

the only ones Sarah is a problem for are the elitist, self serving politicians, liberal media types, and every leftist organization known to man including abortionists. Oh yeah and John McCain’s dumb as- handlers for his sorry campaign. The only good thing about McCain’s campaign was it gave us Sarah!

There’s not a whole lotta Republican women (at her age and with 5 kids) that look as good as Sarah!

I am unsure of when this photo was taken but if it was after or during the time she ran as vice president it was handled inappropriately on the contracts end at Runner’s World.

Not exactly sure when her son was deployed to the sand box, but if it was after her nomination, the Blue Star Flag would indicate that the photo was taken after Minn-St Paul

When I do a shoot, I usually have a bigger up front fee, then allow unlimited reproduction rights, except for sales to outside companies.

With a significant public figure, the negotiations can be more complex. Most magazines and newspapers tend to be “seat of the pants” operations, and I’ve usually set things up with a couple of emails.

It’s likely that Runner’s World didn’t even think beyond the article. Being a niche publication, they never run a negative article about anyone, and most runners are not controversial. They probably never considered that their photos could be used negatively.

That said, there’s nothing wrong with the photo. It’s the text added to it that made the cover controversial.

Isn’t it weird that NewsWeak would run a major story about a politician, and not send their own photographer to take a picture, but instead would purchase a stock picture from an agency?

She had to give permission when she posed for the pictures. Her people could have insisted that the photos be under her control, or only for use by Runner’s world.

Not that I EXPECT she would have thought to do that, but you asked how it COULD be her fault. I know that when my family posed for pictures for a magazine article, we signed a release but didn’t make sure it was exclusive for the magazine in question.

Then why would Runners World say it was w/o their knowledge or permission?

They want to disassociate themselves from the Newsweek hit piece.

Because while the picture was appropriate in context of a Runner's World article, Newsweek was wrong in presenting it in context of serious political commentary.

(And when 80% of the women on The View take that position, Newsweek is way over the line, Only 80%; Joy Behar is irredeemable)

I hope that Runner's World sues Newsweak into bankruptcy.

This is THEFT, and I hope that Newsweak is ruined over it.
