I don't know if anybody can answer this or not, but worth a shot:
I'm writing a nonfiction book about a major US event. I've gotten permission from a newspaper to use 5 very good photos of that event. Four of the photos give credit to the paper's staff photographers under each photo. One of the photos does not have a credit under it. I would guess it was a staff photographer, but I don't know - nor does anyone at the paper today know. It's certainly not a photo someone submitted (it's professional), but it could be an AP photo. I think since it's in their paper, there's no credit, and they gave me permission to use it, I should be OK...but I don't know. Any thoughts? Thanks!!
