Creative Commons (CC) licenses allow creators the ability to communicate what rights they reserve, and what rights they waive for the benefit of recipients/creators (YOU). By using CC, you will get access to high quality work and know how to properly attribute/use said work as originally intended. Just a bit of a warning, some creators have given their works CC licenses that do not actually belong to them, or they are not the original copyright holder (Ms. Barker does not encounter too may of these cases, but they do happen so just be aware).
The Public Domain is the perfect place to find media for your magazine articles and presentations. There are 100% no restrictions and no copyright claims on these works. Luckily, more and more creators are releasing their works to the public so you will find that all of the websites below have high quality photos (even hipster Instagram worthy photographs). One note, Royalty Free is not Copyright Free. Royalty Free means that you must pay for a license to use that work for a continued amount of time (like Getty Images and most stock photo websites) - again this is not in the Public Domain.
