The European Federation of Journalists has issued advice to members on how to protect and enforce moral rights on their work. The EFJ says:
The widespread misuse of press photographers’ images – especially on the internet — is a matter of growing concern for the European Federation of Journalists (EFJ). The misuse of images, such as copying, selling or manipulating photographs without permission and without crediting the author has led to various ethical problems and threatened press photographers’ moral rights.
The EFJ urges member unions:
- To stress the values of press photographers’ moral rights and
- To provide their members with advice on how to protect these.
