Those pesky sub-editors over at The Law Gazette. Not content with their recent disasterously poorly-judged photo to illustrate a story about domestic abuse, today comes another woefully-chosen image.

A freeze on graduate recruitment isn't, we guess, much of a cause for celebration. God knows there are enough students clamouring for the handfuls of available jobs already. It's definitely better if we don't add another year of unemployed graduates on top. And so it's a newsworthy story that, as the LG puts it, "More than three-quarters of medium-sized firms have frozen graduate recruitment for the next year – despite an increase in applications." As if getting a training contract wasn't already hard enough.

They're celebrating, because they don't have jobs.





So, how to best illustrate this important story? Well, take a look at what they chose...

Just look at those happy students, chucking their mortar boards in the air with reckless abandon. At their brightest and best, celebrating the pinnacle of their long years in academe before starting out resourcefully on a distinguished career path. Heart warming.

Or not.
