Article

Michael Dukakis
Portion used

Because the image is historically significant, the entire image is needed to identify the subject, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.
Low resolution?

The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original.
Purpose of use

Identification and critical commentary in both Dukakis's article and the article on the 1988 presidential election. This picture is considered a key factor in Dukakis's defeat and caused a hubub at the time; seeing the actual image is vital. The image is placed next to the associated material discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for.
Replaceable?

No free equivalent, the picture is copyrighted by the Dukakis campaign. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary.
Other information This image is widely available anyway on the Internet, and was originally intended for public distribution anyway.
