The BBC Should Learn To Count!

The BBC often posts articles that should contain multiple photographs, but actually only contain one.

I find this latest piece particularly annoying, since the headline ("Ansel Adams: Eight of the most iconic photos of the American West") clearly implies that it contains eight photos. This morning, when I opened the report, there was only one; now (a few hours later) it contains all eight.

Sometimes it works out like that, which shows that they are posting reports before they are finished. Sometime the missing photos are never added.

I used to have better expectations of the BBC, but I have long since learned that they are not the quality news organisation that they once were.
