Desperate times desperate measures!! Editors not keen on papers being printed with a blank space where a photo SHOULD have been!! Remember wannabe photographers with their proud portfolios wanting to work on newspapers - a thing I used to point out to them was,
A. could they do a 200 yard dash with full camera bag AND change a film while running!
B. did they have big enough shoulders and elbows when they were in a "scrum"? Used to be a real dogfight sometimes! Again, editors unimpressed when other papers had got THE shot and yours was definitely lacking!

Just as well I never wanted to try working for the press like that
