There is nothing like a great photo

I am a man of words.

But sometimes all you need is a picture.

Photos have long been a staple of newspapers. A lot of people believe video that can be posted online is eclipsing the standard still photo.

In fact, the truth is, amid the wave of staff reductions that have rocked the industry, photographers are fast becoming something of a rare breed.

Photos happen to be very important to us, maybe even more so than many other newspapers.

We create our front and back pages every day usually around a single image and headline.

Last night Haverford School topped Malvern Prep to take their second straight Inter-Ac title.

All that is nice, but nothing tells me more about the game that the shot by Pete Bannan that graces the Back Page of today's Daily Times.

That's what a newspaper can do.

You know, the kind that you actually hold in your hand.
