Can I use that Facebook photo? (w/o permission)

From an ethical standpoint I would say no. These photos are this persons property and we do not have permission to use them. I see where this could become a legal issue with them suing for defamation.
However, I believe also that in a court of law your case would stand up as this person put this photo online and clicked user agreements. Many of us have been warned about what we post online and this is almost a form of Karma. If under the photo we say taken from John Does Facebook page. this could stand up on a legal side however I must stick by my guns, that taking the photo without permission and without knowing the context is unethical!

Marilyn Berger- Adventures and Escapades, A Life in Journalism and Beyond

Marilyn Berger gave a very interesting speech Tuesday night of a life spent in the ever changing world of journalism. Four years to the day that she was here with her late husband Don Hewitt to celebrate Murrow, she now was able to celebrate her own career. Berger emphasized that she did not appreciate the differentiation between men and women in journalism. "at home I am a woman, at  work I am a journalist" Berger said quoting herself in what she often told her husband.  To hear of the changes that journalism has gone through in such a short time period was very interesting. With Berger we were not just reading a textbook about it. Instead we were given an insight into how the changing  of journalism had her change as well, and how relationships formed, leads grabbed, and the never ending search of a scoop  kept her on her toes. Journalism has changed today Berger is the first to admit she does not know much about modern technology or the social networks.  Today everyone is a journalist, but some do the job better.

Marilyn Bergers two rules to successful Journalism
1. Always have a pen or recorder with you.

2. Don't miss the plane.
