Title: You're not fooling anyone
Post by: Warren Toda on January 15, 2019, 12:59 AM

Many newspapers use cheap stock pictures to accompany news stories and some even try to pass off these stock photos as current news pictures.

Here's  a reader's letter (https://www.thestar.com/opinion/letters_to_the_editors/2019/01/14/original-photos-tell-story-better.html) to the editors of the Toronto Star.

If you've worked at a paper, you know that for each person who writes a letter of complaint to the editor, there are thousands of others who feel the same way.

"Please, more photos that show originality and a powerful narrative, and fewer stock images."

Amen to that!
