By Wally EdgeSources at the Star-Ledger say that publisher Jim Wilse has decided that all reporters should carry digital cameras and will be required to capture still shots and video while they are covering stories. The sources say some of the reporters are not happy to have the new photographer responsibilities added to their work load.
A comment from the kind of guy Nick Acocella might call a wag: "I
find that Ledger news about the cameras hysterical...I'm trying to picture Joe Donohue at home studying the manual on his new DV camera trying to figure out the best light setting."
