Work that you had no hand in cannot be a derivative of your work, so
there's really no question about that.  However, if your photograph
appears in a newspaper article, then you *did* have a hand in that
newspaper article.

Maybe this is a matter of semantics, but if I look at a newspaper I'd
say it generally consists of articles which have pictures in them.  I
wouldn't say that it has articles and pictures which just happen to
appear on the same page.
