Hi Steve,

There are many variables in such a calculation, but to give you an idea, 
I logged into Alamy (of which I am a member), picked an image at random 
and did some calculations for licensing an image for use in a travel 
advertising campaign in a UK national newspaper with a circulation of 
100,000.

A couple of examples:
Image size 1/2 page, 10 inserts during 1 month, inside placement: 
1886.18 EUR
Same thing but with 1 insert: 410.04 EUR
Same thing but 1 full page: 2263.41 EUR (10 inserts) / 492.05 EUR (1 insert)

The variables that determine the price at Alamy are:
-image size
-image use
-kind of media (e.g. national vs. local paper)
-print run
-placement (cover, inside cover, back cover, inside)
-number of inserts
-duration of campaign
-territory/country
-industry

If you can give me some assumptions about these parameters, I will be 
happy to calculate a price for you. I think Alamy is a good guideline 
for the UK market. The prices are in EUR because that is the currency I 
chose when I signed up with them.

Nathan
