In the January 24th edition of the Star the caption of the photo showed "An FBI seal is displayed Jan. 16 on a podium before a news conference at the field office in Portland". The AP reporter needs to be educated. A podium is a raised platform, such as a stage where speakers wait to speak for instance. The picture is of a lectern, a piece of furniture which a speaker stands behind. One would hope that journalists could get this right.
