Today morning while going through my Boston.com Big Picture feed, I came across this amazing picture of the solar eclipse.
The title said, “Two men sit on a bridge to watch an annular solar eclipse in Zhengzhou, Henan province, China on January 15, 2010. (REUTERS/Donald Chan)”
After some time when I picked up the newspaper (Times of India, Bangalore Edition) and saw the front page I was surprised to see the same picture! But the real shock came when I read the title. It said, “A Chinese couple watches the solar eclipse over Zhengzhou in central China’s Henan province, on Friday”.
Here are the two things I didn’t like:
- They changed “two men” to “a couple”. Just to make the solar eclipse more romantic?
- They didn’t mention the photographer’s name. As Vir Sanghvi has said, we should show some grace.
I feel strange that the gazillion bloggers out there are better than professional newspapers when it comes to this.
