Hm.
See, now, I can actually understand why someone'd try something like this. I used to work in the news department of a radio station, and I've seen colleagues do similar things. Nothing so serious, but...still.
Case in point. You know the whole 'on the street' reaction bit, right? For news stories? Like... "We asked a few people what they thought of..."
Of course, deadlines being what they are, those soundbites were often recorded by just passing a microphone round our office.
Is that wrong? Well, yeah, definitely. But that's common.
I can just see this photojournalist thinking...well, damnit, I don't have any good pictures. I need better pictures. And it's not like I'm really lying, I mean, this stuff is really happening, these shots are just illustrations...
People are people.
