Remember...

I expect you to employ good shot composition in your "Tell a Story in Five Pics or Less" assignments. I'm looking for good framing (when necessary), proper balance, and a focal point for each shot. I'm also looking for shot variety--wide shots, medium shots, and close ups.

Mainstream News Outlets Start Linking to Other Sites

Is linking to other news organizations a good idea for mainstream news outlets? Will this give more Web traffic and credibility to other news organizations, resulting in declining Web traffic for these news outlets?
