Welcome to the official Flickr account of Yahoo News.

 

Our job is simple: promote the amazing news photography that’s created every day by our users. At Yahoo, we produce personalized online experiences for more than 700 million users daily — and featuring Flickr news photography is part of that mission.

 

In our Flickr “Your Photos” group, we showcase a variety of artistic endeavors — notably landscape, portrait and wildlife photography.

 

But because we’re a news organization, we are especially interested in the work of photojournalists and breaking-news photographers.

 

We highlight our photographers’ work chiefly in two ways:

 

1. Curated galleries on Flickr.

 

2. Photo slideshows on Yahoo News. Here are some recent examples:

 

- Nelson Mandela artwork from across the globe

 

- New Mexico wildfires torch 10,000 acres

 

- Jupiter, Venus and Mercury gather in conjunction

 

Here’s how you can participate: If you want to provide Yahoo consent to publish your photos throughout our websites, join our Yahoo News: “Your Photos” Flickr group and submit your photos to the group pool. If your submitted photo is selected for online publication in Yahoo, we will include an attribution that credits you and, where possible, include a link to your sourced Flickr photo page.

 

Participation is optional, of course. To block your photos from potentially being selected for Flickr galleries we curate, enable the opt-out preference, which will guarantee your exclusion.

 

Flickr photos will never be published outside of Flickr, or anywhere else, by us without Flickr-member consent or Creative Commons licenses that allow commercial use. (This policy does not include sharing photos.) And when it comes to giving Flickr members credit, we will always provide photographer attribution with these photos.

 

Thank you,
