One of you probably knows this off the top of their head or has had experience with it. I'd be grateful for any insight.

The CBS News Show "60 Minutes" uses a clip in a montage of clips. The clip in question is taken from a graduation ceremony, but not from the procession on stage. It appears to be from after the procession and reading of the names (the students are all smiling). My point being, the clip does not look like it was taken during the "newsworthy" part of the event. The clip looks like it might have been taken by a parent. No release is obtained by "60 Minutes" or the photographer.

Is there any claim here for unauthorized use of likeness? The event occurred in New York.

Thanks.

Sincerely,
