Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	Yankee Network publicity photo of John Shepard III, which was used in press releases and in Boston newspapers during the mid-1930s.
Author or copyright owner	unknown photographer at Yankee Network
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Original publication: 1936 publicity photo, given out to Boston newspapers Immediate source: Donna Halper's personal collection
Date of publication	1936
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	John Shepard III
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	for visual identification of the person in question, at the top of his/her biographical article
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	There are few if any surviving images of John Shepard III. He died in 1950, has no living relatives, and his network went defunct in 1967. No-one knows where the files from the Yankee Network ended up, assuming anyone preserved them.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	There are few if any surviving photos of John Shepard III, and as a media historian, I am pleased I found this one at a flea market sale of old photos. This image would be the only photo in a long article about his life and career.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	See above. (He is long deceased, with no living relatives and none of his personal files seem to have survived.) I have already used this image in one of my books and I encountered no problems doing so.
Other information	The subject of the photograph has been deceased since: 1950 It will be very helpful to the article about broadcast pioneer John Shepard III to have a photo of him included.
