Where the pictures from Tagesschau.de come from

Now a short one right before bedtime. As I just read this as usually very informative article by Fiete Stegers on the webpage of the German news-programme Tagesschau.de, the picture on the right has caught my attention, because it looks like just cut out of an random PR-picture. So when I searched for “Laptop in der Straßenbahn” (German for: “laptop in the tram”) at Google-picturesearch and went there on page three, I found this:

The page Teltarif offers a text from february 2005 with the title “Telekom stattet Bonner Bahn mit mobilem Hotspot aus” (“Telekom equipts the traincompany of Bonn with a mobile hotspot”). Here on the photo as well laptop, seat covers and hands may seem familiar to the interested reader. Now just for one more time using Google-Picturesearch with the optimized searchterms “telekom + surfen in der bahn” and well:

On Presseportal.de we find another very similiar article about the internet in the public transport in Bonn with the title “Das Internet fährt mit” “(“The Internet drives with [us/the train]“). And there we are even able to zoom the picture:

So this is like we have been able after 40 seconds of work and two searches at Google-Picturesearch to explain why the illustrating picture on Tagesschau.de looks like just cut out of an random PR-picture. Answer: It just has been cut out of an random PR-picture.
And the best is, that such a general photo can also be used in a general way not only for the “Klimakosten des Internet-Booms” (“Climate Expenses of the Internet-Boom”), but as well for a story about the “Bundestrojaner”.
