[Leica] What is truth: A photograph was/ is ?

[daniel.ridings at edd.uio.no (Daniel Ridings)]

Agreed, Steve. Agreed. Concerns a lot more too. Even journalists. Not 
necessarily the ones writing while they are practising their trade, but 
the editors who chose what is "important" and should be lifted up.

We see this quite a lot in the significance that Europeans place on news 
items compared to what CNN or AP or some of the other news channels put 
the focus on. I won't go in to it because it's not a debate I want to 
raise (specific items, that is), but the principle.
