The goal of each photo assignment should be to provide honest and accurate news photographs that provide information in context, with or without an accompanying story. Photographers and photo editors should work with the assigning editor and reporter to understand the news content of each assignment before going on the assignment, and they should then edit for that content when the shoot is completed.
Photo editors and photographers should work with the AME/Visuals and with the page designers on ways to use the photo selection as part of the page design.
The work of news artists must be given the same careful attention that stories and photos receive. Changes to staff-produced graphics and art must be discussed with artists whenever possible. Other changes may be made for compelling reasons only with the approval of the night editor.
