I am trying to find any information regarding the fair use of company logos in a news story.

We are a small wire service that provides news to magazines, newspapers and ezines. We create custom graphics for each story and many times we will use a company logo for a story.

Do we have any exposure in this area ?
How is this covered in the by copyright law ?

You can not watch a TV newscast without seeing a company logo over the shoulder of the newscaster. I can't imagine this is not an example of fair use.
