got sent on my first door knock this week... My hands were shaking so much I could barely hold the notebook. Why do we not talk more about how intrusive and awkward it feels as a junior?

That’s so relatable. Door knocks are nerve-wracking for everyone at first. It’s brave that you did it, and the nerves just show how much you care about getting it right.

Greetings from Madison, Wisconsin.

I am a firm believer that this will not change for a long time, local TV will continue to live as long as we stand for it.

Hello!

Any info would be appreciated, thanks.

Can a newspaper use my photo without my consent?

I'm not a reporter, I'm just a citizen who took a picture during an event and uploaded it to my social media account. Turns out a digital media wrote me to have permission to use my picture, and when I said yes, they said they were looking for some other picture because I had already given permission to the competitors, which I didn't.
They just posted it without asking me, letting me know, or even mentioning my credits. Is this legal?
