File photos are used by news organizations to represent the subject of a broadcast story. They're usually selected from a photo library, which means they aren't recent, which in some cases means they can show off a side of somebody that hasn't been seen for a long time. If you're the writer, this is a prime opportunity for hilarity to ensue, usually in the form of a one-off gag about just how big a looker or fashion victim the person in question was. If you're more sadistic, it can also be a prime opportunity to humiliate the local Butt-Monkey a little more by showing an embarrassing incident they were a victim of. This may not exclusively be a news media trope. File photos may appear in any archiving field, and are used for any information needs. Similar to the Unflattering ID Photo and Embarrassing Old Photo, but from a more public angle. |

Bojack Horseman: Per "Bojack Hates The Troops", BoJack's file photo mishap is him sneezing on Marisa Tomei. This becomes a Running Gag where the default photo used in news stories and other files on BoJack is "the sneezing picture." To complement BoJack's sneezing picture, the news uses a photo of Diane eating a messy sandwich when discussing her controversial crusade in "Hank After Dark." |

Phineas and Ferb: Downplayed with Doofenshmirtz's file photo, which is simply him happily smiling on a beach (or at least a beach background) but is hilariously used when referring to him as an evil doctor. A more played straight example is his photo for the planned Doofenshmirtz Bandages, which depicts him looking very sickly. Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Candace Against the Universe: The file photo for Candace is of her getting pinched by a crab on the beach. |

Not for Broadcast: One of Day 8's headlines announces Sophia Rymmington's appointment as CEO of Rymmington-Svist. Alex has the choice of picking two file photos - a formal graduation photo, or an informal photo of her playing billiards at a party. Picking either will show Sophia as an innovative, cut-throat CEO or a Hard-Drinking Party Girl with outlandish inventions respectively. | |
