Headsup: The Blog "Random Images"

This blog post discussed the common use of stock photos that accompany stories and their irrelevance. The author poses several questions regarding the common habit of this, the necessity of their usage, and why editors allow these types of photos. As a reader, these generic types of photos add zero substance to the story and in most cases the photo is comical. If a stock photo is going to be used along with a story, it should at least contain some type of relevance to the existing story and engage the reader.
