NOW Accepting Editorial Image Submissions!
BigStockPhoto announces that it NOW accepts offer Editorial Use image submissions.
What is an Editorial Use image?
Editorial Use images are generally non-model released images taken in public. These can be legally used for purposes of commentary, news, social criticism, editorial works, and satire.
Photographers can now begin uploading their non-released images that are taken in public of new or commentary worthy content -- and soon thereafter, buyers will have access to these images and be able to search for this type of image.
When will the images be available to buyers?
Within a week you'll start seeing these editorial use images on the site and it will grow as photographers upload more and more.
Commonly popular editorial style images include photos of:
* images of recognizable people
* images of celebrities
* images of artworks or other copyright things like logos
* sports and musical events
* street scenes
* newsworthy images of unusual happenings, disasters, public interest, etc.

looks like it's becoming a general trend micros. but I still keep my editorial images for macros because I don't believe editorial images would sale in large quantities ,which I think contradicts with the idea of microstock.That's just my opinion though.

I have submitted a few editorial shots to RF, but I wonder if a shot like the following one of Lundy's Lane would really be used as editorial? What happens if they use it improperly though?

It's the user's responsability, right?
