If it's a local paper, they do it all the bloody time. Which is why I never supply our local with sports images.

These days, we photographers don't have any rights, just plenty of wrongs!

i agree with invoicing them for a reasonable amount (not excessive) but also mentioning your copyright as you own the original image unless you waived the ownership with whoever they got your picture from. I have had similar issues in the past, not only with local press but with a international publisher who "forgot" to credit my images. I was lucky(ish) to win that time but the book was already on the shelves without my credit (before Pete starts to sweat, no it wasn't the EPZ book)
