Media releases
Photos of people in action are an excellent way to portray the work of CCE. Be sure to have a signed media release form on file for all images that feature individuals.
CCE Associations should use the photo/image release form template.
Others may use the templates and resources available through the Cornell Copyright Information Center.
Copyright
Using copyrighted music, photography or video footage without a license or permission exposes CCE and Cornell University to financial liability for copyright infringement.
If you manage websites or social media platforms for CCE, you are responsible for ensuring that all content is copyright compliant.
CCE Associations should follow the copyright guidance in FORM Code 1501 section IV. D. General copyright guidance can be found through the Cornell Copyright information center.
Accessibility
Using “alternate text” often shortened to “alt text” allows those who are unable to see your image (such as those using screen readers) to obtain the necessary information that the image was intended to convey. This is an important step in ensuring that your digital content is WAG 2.0 compliant. For guidance on writing alt text, examples and additional resources, visit the images page of the Digital Accessibility @ CCE website.
