Is It Wrong to Recycle Images?

FORMER VICE PRESIDENTIAL candidate Sarah Palin is upset with Newsweek magazine for using an image of her in shorts on the cover of their magazine. It seems the image was originally taken for Runner's World magazine.

The editor of Newsweek responded to criticism by saying, "We chose the most interesting image available to us to illustrate the theme of the cover, which is what we always try to do. We apply the same test to photographs of any public figure, male or female: does the image convey what we are saying? That is a gender-neutral standard."

Did Newsweek disrespect the former governor of Alaska? Or is Palin overreacting?
