Putting the interns to work

The Tempo cover page on Tuesday featured a 6-column photograph of a woman walking and texting on her phone; the photo accompanied a story about people who text as they walk. The image appeared to be a documentary image, but was actually a staged photograph of a Tribune intern taken to illustrate a story about texting. The photo carried a credit line, “Tribune photo illustration, ” but that was insufficient to meet Tribune standards that require photo illustrations to be constructed so that they cannot be confused with documentary photographs.
