I worked as a professional news photographer for 8 years. I had photos published in Time magazine and hundreds in the newspaper. I was at many news events and alongside the reporters. I stood next to TV reporters and crew. Virtually every story I later saw on TV or in the paper was different than what I saw. They left out important things and emphasized minor things.
One time when the POWs were returning to the country the governor of Alabama held a reception for the POWs and their family. I was the selected pool photographer to go inside to shoot a few stills. All the news services shared my photos which is common. As the Governor Wallace rolled his wheelchair toward the door to make some comments to the press the national NBC network guys tried to hog the center spot and block all the other crews. Wallace knew my name and all the local reporters and knew what to do. He rolled foreword and forced the NBC. Guys to walk backwards. One reporter conveniently tripped the NBC cameraman and he went down and smashed that high dollar video camera. The other reporters just stepped all over him and they learned the locals were not intimidated my national crews. It was a pack of wolves.
