Young editorial assistant is told to find photo of a Tornado. YEA (for it is he/she) uses Goo-goo images and picks a good picture. If the referencing to the picture is wrong, then how is your average journalist trainee meant to know.

Gee what do you guys expect? Expertise and specialist knowledge in the BBC (or any form of the media for that matter?). On the salaries they pay, you'd be lucky!!

Whirls has it spot on.

It's a bit of a non-story really so was almost certainly given to the office junior, with the instruction "picture Tornado FREE find". They do a quick Google and come up with a free and suitably captioned 'Tornado' picture.

The pedants on here will complain as always but does it really make any difference to the underlying story?
