Mr. Pepito, the owner of Pepito’s Pizza wants to run an ad in your high school newspaper. Last week, after the football game, a group of students came to his restaurant to eat and celebrate. While there, Pepito took their photo, which he asks you to include in the ad. The students all look great, are smiling for the camera and clearly having a good time. There is a big, yummy-looking Pepito’s Pizza in front of them. What should be your next step?

Mr. Pepito, the owner of Pepito’s Pizza wants to run an ad in your
high school newspaper. Last week, after the football game, a group
of students came to his restaurant to eat and celebrate. While there,
Pepito took their photo, which he asks you to include in the ad. The
students all look great, are smiling for the camera and clearly having
a good time. There is a big, yummy-looking Pepito’s Pizza in front of
them. What should be your next step?
a. Make sure that you have a validly signed model release form from
each of the students (and possibly their parents, if they are minors)
whose image appears in the photo.
b. Make sure you get Pepito’s name spelled correctly so that you can
give him a proper photo credit and avoid any charges of plagiarism.
c. Make sure that you accurately identify each of the students in the
photo so that you can include their names in a caption in the ad.
d. Make sure you collect Pepito’s advertising fee in cash. You don’t
want to have to try and collect on a bad check.
