A candle that smells like The New York Times called “The Times of New York.”

So if The New York Times is a candle, I guess that makes Twitter…a strobe light?

Twitter as a strobe light works, especially if you think social media is disco.

And there we’d sit on hard benches in a simple chapel, old and young, mostly in blissful silence. Occasionally, someone about four feet tall was, indeed, moved to speak. There would be a dense stillness before a little voice said something profound like “I love baloney sandwiches” or “My dog snores.

While social media players espouse a different agenda than the mainstream media, blogs still heavily rely on the traditional press – and primarily just a few outlets within that – for their information. More than 99% of the stories linked to in blogs came from legacy outlets such as newspapers and broadcast networks. And just four – the BBC, CNN, the New York Times and the Washington Post accounted for fully 80% of all links.

Wowza. 80 percent from just those four outlets.

This is a great photo. It’s also an illustration of the unfortunate mentality in journalism that feeds a competitive atmosphere instead of a focus on creating value and serving communities. Are there wire service photographers in that mass of journalists? I bet there are. Do most of the publications those other photographers work for run wire photos? I bet they do. So why do all these photographers need to spend the day shooting guys sitting at a table instead of using their skills to tell more stories, in different ways, to offer the public coverage with more breadth and depth. (I’m not saying these aren’t important guys at an important table, but I think this photo shows a lack of understanding by news organizations about how to allocate resources to best serve the public. Especially since they’re news organizations that often lament having limited resources.) via inothernews: And another thing about this photo by the New York Times’s Doug Mills: it illustrates a basic tenet of Great Photojournalism - Don’t shoot where everyone else is shooting.  Find a different angle.  Don’t follow the pack.  Shoot from above, shoot from under, shoot from the opposite direction, shoot elsewhere, and still tell the story.  The Times has some of the best photojournalists in the world in its employ - this photo shows us why.
