Copyright/Fair Use Question

A non-profit wants to use a New Yorker cartoon in a one-time advertisement for a free event in the community "shopper" newspaper (the kind that get delivered on doorsteps weekly w/o subscription). Do they need to get permission from the New Yorker or the cartoonist?

Edited to completely change the topic of the post because board ownership is boring.
It depends on the arrangement between the publisher and the artist, but odds are that the New Yorker has the copyright.

You'll want to get a license from them. (Just because the entity is a non-profit does not automatically make the use a "fair use" under copyright). Many publications have re-use programs of some sort, so it may be doable to get such a license.
