Tim's Tip of the Day

The LATimes fired a photo journalist for doctoring a picture from the Iraqi war. If the same standard were to apply to the reports from embedded journalists the pages of the newspapers would be blank. I was going to say that they would only have advertising then I realised that this is what they are now.

Ensign Notes

All of the pictures you see on this site are our own productions but provincial, national and international stories are "illustrated" with images gleened from the web. Where ever possible we try to note their source but that is not always possible when many images are combined to tell that story.
