This image is of a magazine cover, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the magazine or the individual contributors who worked on the cover depicted. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of magazine covers

to illustrate the publication of the issue of the magazine in question
with the publication name either visible on the image itself or written in the image description above,

on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

Note: If the image depicts a person or persons on the cover, it is not acceptable to use the image in the article of the person or persons depicted on the cover, unless used to directly illustrate a point about the publication of the image. Use of the image merely to depict a person or persons in the image will be removed.

[edit] Fair Use Rationale

[edit] Fair use in Joe Mauer

Though this image is subject to copyright, I feel its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

It is a low resolution copy of a magazine cover.
It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the magazine in any way.
The image on the cover is significant because it feautures a famous individual, Joe Mauer.
The photo is only being used for informational purposes.
Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows the subject of this article and how the event depicted was significant to the general public.
The image is used directly in connection with the publication of this image
