Is there someone out there who could give me a primer on fair use for copyright?

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.

ETA: The cartoon would be the basis for commentary on the subject of it -- kind of like "here's the answer to this problem" if that makes any difference.
