Photo-Fail - Tamedia pays 8000 euros for unauthorised image publication. How freelance photographer Benjamin Norskov successfully asserted himself against Tamedia and how it can be expensive for media companies - this was reported on 26.4.2022 by Medienwoche (magazine for media, journalism, communication & marketing).

Specifically, it is about an article from 31 July 2022 in the "Süddeutsche Zeitung". Tamedia regularly publishes SZ articles in its mainstream titles. Tamedia wanted to showcase the article with good photos, photos that Tamedia did not pay for and published without Norskov's consent. The article reports on the Swedish phenomenon of EPA tractors, agricultural tractors that are self-constructed from converted production vehicles or vehicle remnants. Nørskov's photos are considered the best images on the subject. In recent years they have been exhibited in museums in Sweden and at festivals in Norway and Germany. The background article on the photofail is an encouragement for SBF members in similar situations.
