Not arguing against that, I concur. I also wonder why the folks involved are not resorting to 'cold dead fingers' approach. Don't know enough, obviously.

Quote:New Orleans TV Photojournalists Could Lose Their Jobs
(September 6, 2005) â As if the hardship of enduring Hurricane Katrina and then covering the almost-unbelievable devastation in the storm's aftermath wasn't enough, many television photojournalists in New Orleans and along the Gulf Coast are learning that shortly they could also be out of a job.
Corporate television owners are apparently trying to determine if there's going to be anyone doing business in New Orleans in the near future who will buy television advertising. If not, without advertising revenue the corporations will have to foot the entire cost of operating a television station in the devastated market - a tremendous expense that could pull down revenues from their other markets, a cost that most owners are probably going to be unwilling to bear...
So, it appears that money trumps principle. Journalism, in the 21st century, is exposed once again as a farce, as a business, and not as a servant of freedom.
