Marriage of Photos and Bylines at OC Register

The Orange County Register has decided to give its reporters more visibility, whether they like it or not. A photo of each writer will accompany their byline on every story they write. We can hear the newsroom groans, but we think it’s a great idea. Here at FBLA we post pictures of ourselves as often as we can, so that when they fire us all, you people will notice.
