| |

| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Suggestions for locating images==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *For Film Reviews, try Googling for the official movie site and grabbing a still. Also try Googling for the Facebook page for the movie. Often those pages will have good, large photos.
| |
| − | *For Theatre Reviews, you may have to get creative. Consider contacting the theatre company by e-mail or Facebook and requesting a hi res (at least 600x400) image. Often, the company will get back to you the same day.
| |
| − | *The sites listed may have thematically related images that you can use if you simply can't find anything usable elsewhere. Do not merely steal images from the internet, if they are not "publicity" related to the production or if they are not in the public domain or if they are not sensibly covered by "free use."
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *http://www.flickr.com/photos/sara_photos/ This is a good resource. Sara Finke is a KDHX staff photographer who does great work and has given us blanket permission to use her photos on Flickr, so long as you credit her.
| |
| − | *http://commons.wikimedia.org/
| |
| − | *http://www.flickr.com/commons
| |
| − | *http://www.flickr.com/groups/freeuse You may need to log in to your Flickr to save these images to your drive.
| |
| − | *http://www.sxc.hu/ Free library of images. You will need to sign up for a free account. When searching here, ignore the “premium” images and use the community images. Use images that say “Standard Restrictions apply.” Those are images that we can freely use.

| |

| |
| − | Note: Try to avoid increasing the size of a small image too much. If your image is sharp enough, you may increase the dimensions by maybe 30 pixels to get it to 600x400, but if you increase too much, you will pixelate the image.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If you need to, you may use one of these background textures to help flesh out a smaller image.

| − | ==Corrections to Published Articles==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *If a published article on KDHX.org requires a factual correction, you may simply correct the mistake, and then append a note in italics at the bottom of the article.
| |
| − | *For instance, if a theatre review incorrectly identified an actor, the correction note would look like this:
| |
| − | **''Correction: The review originally cited Nick Henderson in the role of Ferdinand. In fact, Aaron Dodd played this part.''
| |
| − | *Corrections of typos, misspellings etc. need not be noted at the end of the article. Only significant corrections of fact.
| |
