A week ago a chicken snarled up traffic on the Bay Bridge, and that
not only got into the papers, it made the television news as well.

Re: The Hawk and the Owl story published

[P.J. Alling]

Yet, a five alarm fire, that destroyed a local boat yard, with a forty 
year history, and, which put probably 40-50 people out of work, never, 
and I mean never, made it into the local news, either print of 
broadcast, a few years ago.  Which is about the time I stopped reading 
the local and regional papers.


As Carl Kolchak, (obscure pop reference), used to say, "That's News!"  
But, it would require actually having local reporters and stringers to 
report it.  Maybe, even pay for a photographer.


I find it even more annoying when events such as a chicken snarl or duck 
walk, appears in a paper after a major event is essentially ignored.


These people think that the internet is killing newspapers and 
television news, but that's not true, those institutions are killing 
themselves.

The reality is that online publishing requires massive amounts of
content, and that filters right through to all types of readership.
Pictures are an essential part of that content - especially a series of
pics like this. Even though things like plastic owls have been in use
for years, there will be millions out there who have no idea that this
scenario exists. It's a perfect story for the Mail.

This sort of thing doesn't come under 'news' so much as 'light
entertainment'. But the umbrella is news, so yes it is!

I wouldn't say it's a sad commentary on today's media, rather a
commentary on today's online society that devours content. The media
merely fulfils a role in providing the content for that meal!

It's what I was taught in photojournalism class is called a "Feature";
defined as any story or image that makes the reader/viewer go
"A...". Newspapers were doing them long before anyone even imagined
the internet.

In the age of the internet, "news" is Feature friendly, otherwise you
wouldn't find many cat photos.

Subject: Re: The Hawk and the Owl story published



On 14/9/15, Ken Waller, discombobulated, unleashed:


Its probably a sad commentary about today's media that something of this
nature would be published as news, but it was picked up by the UK's Daily
Mail and was published today.


The reality is that online publishing requires massive amounts of
content, and that filters right through to all types of readership.
Pictures are an essential part of that content - especially a series of
pics like this. Even though things like plastic owls have been in use
for years, there will be millions out there who have no idea that this
scenario exists. It's a perfect story for the Mail.

This sort of thing doesn't come under 'news' so much as 'light
entertainment'. But the umbrella is news, so yes it is!

I wouldn't say it's a sad commentary on today's media, rather a
commentary on today's online society that devours content. The media
merely fulfils a role in providing the content for that meal!

I think you will find that it's sad that people consider the Daily Mail

Congrats, Ken! It is a worthy set of great images that tell the story well.

However I find it very hard to believe that the writer of the piece
was able to resist calling the owl "unflappable" in facing the
confrontation.

Re: The Hawk and the Owl story published

[Brian Walters]

Well done, Ken.  An excellent photo story. I've been preoccupied lately
and missed the original post.

Interesting that the author thought the fact that you are "former Ford
Motor worker" was relevant to the story.



Cheers
