That’s a problem ABC 17 in Columbia, Mo., has had for the last few years. Many stories about car crashes use the same generic photo of a smashed-up sedan. Likewise with stories about shootings carrying a generic picture of a handgun and shell casings lying on pavement.
Those photos are realistic and relevant enough for a reader to think they’re actually showing the news event in question. And the lack of photo captions or credits leaves the reader at best uncertain.
