I think I just got published

I was checking my local news on the web, and noticed they did a story about murals that have been popping up throughout the area. One of the murals they mentioned was one I had shot and stitched a few weeks ago. I called them, asked if they wanted my copy, and the guy said to send it over. Lo and behold, they used it on their website - http://www.baynews9.co​m …bold_bright_mur​als_p.html

Now I really wish they would have given me credit, especially since their own staff photographer's photos looked (IMO) not paycheck worthy, but hey, who am I?

The staff photographers also got paid for their images, as did the photo editor. Plus the website earns money through advertising, so they will be making money off the OPs image.

And like I said in the first post, the staff photographer's pics are (IMO) crap. But I figure I'll give them this one.

How would one go about approaching them if you were hoping to be compensated? Most of the time it's just viewers sending in phone pics, or from the wires.
