Balefire Stock Image Appears on Huffington Post

The Huffington Post used a Balefire Stock image on October 31, 2012 as the header in their article, “The 10 Colleges Where The Professors Get Low Marks.” The image features a professor holding a handwritten cardboard sign reading “Will Teach For Food.” The article discusses how many of the top-rated colleges and universities in the United States often have faculty who are not rated well by students. We look forward to The Huffington Post licensing more images in the future to supplement and illustrate their articles and editorials.
