Is it illegal to use images for an online newspaper?

I have a website about auto safety. I post articles (with permission of course) from various newspapers and magazines about related topics.

I'd like to add pictures to the articles for illustration, but I don't know how to legally do so.

For example, I have an article on Ford recalls : http://autosafety.webs.com/articles/hugerecallbutm...

I'd like to put a picture of a car where the engine cruise control caught fire to help illustrate. I found it on Flickr and I don't know how to use it legally.
