A Layperson’s Lesson Three: How to be BOTH the editor and audience

A layperson’s lesson starts from Creative Commons

In addition to my personal pollster-like life, this week our RedEye team has been busy doing various video projects. We found ourselves in need of some generic children’s pictures to cut into a spot.  My first thought was why don’t we just Google some children’s photos or images, bam!, job done.
