LETTER: Pay attention to images as much as words in articles

I need to reach out regarding the photo on the front page of the March 7 Peninsula Daily News [“Firm Details Timber Harvest for Clallam”].

I feel more attention should have been paid to photos that are included with articles.

Photos have the power to skew public opinion as much as the words of the story.

I feel it is irresponsible to show a photo of logs being exported with a story about timber harvests on state lands.

Timber harvested off of state land cannot be exported.

I am sure this can be confirmed with any number of timber companies in the Port Angeles area.
