News Outlets
News outlets may use MIR content without needing explicit permission, subject to compliance with these guidelines. MIR content used in a factual manner that does not imply endorsement may be used without needing explicit permission. MIR should be acknowledged as the source of the material. MIR occasionally uses copyright-protected material of third parties with permission on its website. Those images will be marked as copyright protected with the name of the copyright holder.

MIR has extensive image and video galleries online, including historic images, current images, event photos and video, as well as photos of attendees, staff, contestants and others. Individuals may use our watermarked gallery images - in which they appear - for their personal non-commercial use. Watermarks may not be removed or cropped from photos.

MIR Content Used for Commercial Purposes
