We credit every photograph we use. The credit appears directly beneath the picture in the story that uses it.

Where our pictures come from

  • Our own photographs, taken by Dorset Gazette journalists.
  • Pictures supplied with permission by readers, organisations, the emergency services, councils, clubs and event organisers — credited to whoever supplied them.
  • Images published under licences that allow reuse, such as Creative Commons licences, credited as the licence requires.
  • AI-generated images, which are always labelled as AI in the credit.
