Evidence in the right place

Media and image alignment

Photographs and video are part of the historical record. They lose value when clips are stretched, cropped, mislabeled, or dropped over a speech simply because the editor needed movement on the screen.

Media register

Corrected story-to-media assignments.

**League of Women Voters Candidates Forum**Candidate-forum speech and first-term commitments. The ACS/Bidwell Park alcohol clip does not belong over this speech.

**Caper Acres**Use the ACS/Bidwell Park alcohol and park-governance clip here. Remove the School Site Track Meet footage.

**Cami Anderson Memorial School Site Track Meet**Use the school-site track meet video with the Cami Anderson and event-continuity story.

**Special Olympics basketball**Use tournament footage, 2012 cancellation coverage, the University response, and the later return.

**Action News Now**Preserve the native television geometry. Subject, host, segment, and date remain pending.

**National housing report**Construction-site interview after the Camp Fire. Preserve its native frame and recover the transcript before presenting the recalled quote as verified.

**CHAT interview**Chico Housing Action Team interview from July 2019. Exact day, interviewer, and topics remain pending.

**Keep Families Together**Randall speaking at a 2019 event tied to local reporting about teenagers marching in Chico.

Hard rules

Image handling that cannot be improvised.

Citizens Academy derivative only

Never deploy the original source image. Only use a visually inspected derivative named chico-fire-hose-cropped.webp after every agency logo and mark is removed. Do not imply endorsement.

Cecilia photographer mark

The photographer’s logo must remain completely visible. Do not crop, blur, cover, remove, or crowd it.

Newsom in Grass Valley

Lead with the image of Randall speaking directly with Gavin Newsom. Other posed photographs show proximity; the Grass Valley image shows engagement.

Archive identifications

Additional factual captions.

Stonewall Alliance proclamation

Mayor Scott Gruendl presented a proclamation recognizing Stonewall Alliance of Chico to then-Executive Director Thomas Kelem. Tami Ritter and Randall Stone are standing and applauding; Forest Harlan is standing in the audience. Interpretations of other participants remain internal until video or minutes support them.

Comanche Creek Greenway

Young Rhys Stone is actually cutting the ribbon at the opening. The photograph belongs to the project and family story, not a generic ceremonial gallery.

ACS Park Ranger truck

Photographed by Randall while the truck actively collected debris during the beginning of Chico’s ACS program. It documents field work, not merely a vehicle.

Green New Deal pledge

Randall signing in the mayor’s office with Dave Garcia, Aaron Haar, and one woman not yet identified. The date, organization, and complete signatory record remain open.
