CONFUSING PHOTOS AND HEADLINES

Newsday can you clear up something for us? We often see pictures on your website that have nothing to do with the headline story on the same page.
For example, under the story titled 'Children’s Authority back in Parliament', http://newsday.co.tt/politics/0,78757.html, we see a photo of several people who have graduated from an electrical installation class, with the caption "GRAD CLASS: Students of the Electrical Installation Course for the first cycle of 2008 University of the West Indies, School of Continuing Studies, pose for this group shot at a project site at Robert Street, Bank Village, Carapichaima on Saturday."
When we click on the picture, there's a notice at the top left hand side that we should click on the related article, which is the Children's Authority story.
But of course when we click on the that story, there's no mention of the electrical installation graduation.

And again if you go to http://newsday.co.tt/day/1,18882.html#foto, you'll see a photo of a woman being led into a police van in Port of Spain, but the related story at the top of the page is 'France commemorates May ’68'.

And once again, for Lara Pickford-Gordon's story titled 'Nothing but the whole truth', http://newsday.co.tt/commentary/0,78762.html, on the same page there's a shot of the Mighty Sparrow leading a bevy of scantily clad beauties in a conga line at the Jean Pierre Complex.
What's the relation?
