At the florida paper where I worked (retired) as a photographer for over 35 years.... we were told by company lawyers (20 yrs ago) to not keep any spot news type photos/negs on file...JUST the frame(s) that were published.....just for the reason that happen here...also attorneys tried to use the outtakes in lawsuits after accidents ect......if you don't keep' em they can't get em.....you must make that policy a part that is publishd in the newrooms handbook... I guess it would apply to newspaper video too.
