Image & Media Credits

LifeWestWay publishes only text written by our own editorial team and imagery that is licensed for commercial reuse. We do not host or embed copyrighted photos, video, or third-party article text without permission.

Where our media comes from

  • Wikimedia Commons — freely licensed photos (Creative Commons or public domain). Each file is credited individually below with its author and licence.
  • Unsplash — used under the Unsplash Licence, which permits free commercial use without attribution. We still choose location- and topic-specific photographs (the actual city, campus, or landmark an article discusses) rather than generic desk-and-laptop stock, and each photo is used only once across the site.
  • Flag icons — flagcdn.com and the MIT-licensed circle-flags set. National flags are in the public domain.
  • Brand assets — the LifeWestWay logo and illustrations are original works owned by LifeWestWay.
  • Editorial text — written in-house. Official figures (visa fees, salary bands, tax thresholds) are summarised in our own words and linked to the issuing government source rather than copied.
