How many times is the AP going to fall for this photo

[Jason Haller]

I can remember at least 3 leading up to today.

The moment I saw that news bulletin, I knew there would be a post about it on Stormtrack.

I'm sure they've been told it's not a tornado, but that doesn't make as much money.

I'm guessing the "official" caption was never corrected so it's simply getting re-used. From 2008:

And I hope they keep screwing it up. That's what they get for taking iReporter, WeatherWarrior, ViewerPics crap!

Expecting this image, and was not let down

My sentiments exactly. Had the exact picture in my mind before I clicked on the link.

Boy picture 12 in that slide show was pretty dang awesome.

Excuse me....WHAT about my crap! Verne. I didn't think you to be that guy...but Really!!!!

I don't EVER miss represent what I post and you should know better!

I think he is referring to what TWC calls their photo submitters lol I believe they also use the term Weather Warriors.

They haven't done that in years, I had to tell TWC...someone was already using "Weather Warriors" as a business in the same sector.

Verne...if that's what you meant, my apologies. But it would be iWitnessWeather on TWC now.

Come on Jason, I think you need to look at the context of what he said. Why would he single you out with iReport and ViewerReport... and TWC was still using WeatherWarrior last year at this time, so it's not so long ago.

Yes, TWC uses the term iWitness weather...but they call the people submitting photos and video on a daily basis for free their "weather warriors."

I have also heard them use the term from time-to-time.

In generic terms I don't think I can prevent it (as I'm not a lawyer). But if they are using for anything beyond that I would like to know, but that would likely have to go in the copyright thread. When the time comes, I will look into it deeper. Bottomline for me, I just wanted to make sure Verne and others don't associate that aspect of photo misuse with my company.

Okay back on topic. Check out this video submitted to TWC. Do they even review these?!
