Improperly Attributed Photo Used on Patch Sites

It has come to our attention that Dundalk Patch has been using a photograph that is the copyrighted property of The Dundalk Eagle.

The photo in question, an exterior shot of the North Point Government Center, was originally posted to Dundalk Patch by a member of the community.

The image was then used again on subsequent stories and announcements about the pending sale of the center and surrounding park land.

The photo has been removed from all of the Dundalk Patch and Essex Patch stories for which it was used.

Patch regrets the improper use of a photograph taken by a staff photographer of another news outlet. Such use is against Patch policy and would not be done in a purposeful manner. 

Patch readers and users are reminded to post only photographs they themselves took, or those that they have express permission from the rightful owner to use.

Any written material submitted must be the work of the individual making the submission, and cannot be copied from any other published work without permission.
