The New York Times flexed its muscles over the last 24 hours. Take a look here:

http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2005/04/02/international/20050403_POPE_REAX_SLIDESHOW_index.html

I don't know if this link will work and I don't even know if you can see the slideshow unless you have a subscrition to the online NYTimes. If the link doesn't work, try going to http://www.nytimes.com and following the "photographs" link under the main story about the death of John Paul II.
If not now, when?

    Great, thanks for posting the link. I love good photojournalism. And what's always interesting is how it doesn't matter if a shot's technically deficient, as long as it captures a story/emotion.

    Gee, maybe Andy's QOTW had a point after all. naughty.gif

    Yeah, Sid, I couldn't help but notice the unbalanced night shots, too. Jeez, you'd think they'd just hit the tungsten button in their raw converter, wouldn't you? But as you say, it doesn't really matter with these shots.

    I think they do get the color balance right before it goes in the print edition. But the prepress guys don't touch the web shots, because there is no "press". That's my theory anyway.

    I was wrong. Saw most of the shots in print in a special section today. Still not balanced or converted to B&W. Well, maybe if it had been in the Sunday Magazine it would have been balanced.
