You have never worked in the news industry have you. 

 

I'll give you a task. Go to your favourite news source and do the easier job, count how many images ARE NOT stock photos or credited related images. 

 

   I did do that and there were no unrelated photos to the stories on the reputable media site that I looked at .

   Did you work for a sub standard media outlet ?

That's an old concrete structure part-complete - project began ten years ago, 2014.

 

The project was halted due to charges of encroachment on reserved mangrove forests by marine park officials.

 

Silly stuff.

 

But for now, shows what a little publicity can do to prompt action.

 

A win for the kids.
