Let's start a new campaign?

Following on from Tuesday's blog entry, where I mentioned at the end about news websites not using the right picture for their articles, I have found another. At least the one on Tuesday used a picture from the same region, todays' was way out.

Now this is an article about price rises on bus services in Norfolk and Suffolk. So what did the good people at EDP24 use? A picture of a red bendy bus operating the London route 73. Not only is the bus in totally the wrong area, but there are no longer any bendy buses running in London anymore (thanks to Boris). You'd think they would try and get an actual bus from the Norfolk region.

So that's why we need to start a campaign to get news agencies to understand that if they are going to use pictures of trains and buses, they should at least use the right ones.

For the benefit of EDP24, this is what a typical bus in Norfolk or Suffolk actually looks like. If fact, this is one from Norwich itself, which the news writer would have known about if he looked out of his office window.
