Does the title of this thread and the evidence within it suggest that there is very little usage of public transport by people working in the media?

It does and there is an element of truth in that suggestion. BUT I know from personal experience that there are plenty of times I'm posting a story online, where time is of the essence to get the news out but I don't have a picture to hand, where the relevance of even the best picture I have is questionable to say the least. |

Perhaps best not to post any picture, then.    |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

The reporter, Kieran Williams, looks like yet another of the very young people working on local news websites. When wr.iting a book during Lockdown I came across several more up and down England. Those working on the Reading Chronicle receive critical "comments" every day. It's wondered what sort of initial and on-the-job training they get

Won't they have done a Media Studies degree, and thus arrive knowing everything already? |

It looks just like Great Malvern station and I can see only two rails. Has someone done an update? |

I have a great deal of sympathy with journalists who have to rush out a story with an illustration they don't have in their image library. Have the same problem finding an apprpproriate image for my blog - https://grahamellis.uk/perm.html to see a series of pictures where I have done my best. Sometimes I note "stock image" in the caption ... |

I have a great deal of sympathy with journalists who have to rush out a story with an illustration they don't have in their image library. ................and it's probably fair to say that 99% of their readers wouldn't know/couldn't care less whether the illustration is a little off, it's just there to serve the article? |
