That is super lame! The Newspapers are doing the right thing. Otherwise, what's next? Politicians demanding flattering photos. They're NEWSPAPERS for crying out loud...reporting on things as they happen, no photoshopping, no changing ANYTHING except what you can do in a traditional darkroom to a photo. Can you imagine the same restriction on reporters writing a review?? "You can only come to the show if what you write about it is favorable and approved by the artist". HA HA. SUPER SUPER LAME!! I've photographed tons of concerts for newspapers and the worst I encountered were having 30 seconds to get a shot. That was crazy and impossible. Usually they limit the photographers to shoot during the first three songs. Industry standard.
