Jared Polin Froano's Photo.com and this is PhotoNewsFix Extra. The extra part is where I take

the photo newsfix stories and dive a little deeper. Share more of my opinion, my thoughts,

and my feelings in a longer form audio podcast, whereas the video that we put out is meant to give you just enough information

that you understand the stories.

I give a little bit of my opinion, and we keep it fun and light so that you can get on

with your day, but feel that you have been informed about what's going on in the photo news

world.

Now, if you haven't subscribed to the podcast yet, please do that.

generally do, and there is one story that is blowing up nationally outside of the photo community,

and that is the one I'm going to start with,

so I don't have to bury it,

so you guys don't have to wait to the end and skip to get in getting to it.

But this is the one where the title of this video

and the photo news fix is around basically saying

that a wedding photographer was awarded $1 million in a defamation lawsuit. Now, this goes back

into, back to 2015. The wedding photographer is Andrea Polito, who I'm trying to get on

and trying to do an interview with to get, obviously, her take on it, her side of the story,

where things went wrong, where it went off the rails,

and how she's trying to get her photography life back together since she was defamed and her business

had to shut down, which we're going to talk about as we go forward with this photo newsfix story.
