Unrelated to the content and scary situation itself, just a general media commentary, why is that WaPo article using a tiny AM radio quality image? It seems many online media companies still live in the age of paper publishing. Now, an image like that converted to CMYK @ 170dpi and run through a Panther would end up looking passable on newsprint, even blown up a bit.
It's the Internet future, publish better quality photos. Yet the media wonders why they died. So many thousands of cuts like this.
I imagine WaPo doesn’t have people in random Oregon towns, so they have to take what they can get for photos investors like these
True, but AP newswire internal or social media can probably deliver something. It's just annoyingly common that they don't use larger images in a lot of news. Colorado Sun is a good example of getting with the times.
