Every job of the editor is to make sure both text and image tells a coherent story. It seems like journalism should combine both telling the story (text) and photography (photo) effectively. Both should be done in conjunction versus a something separate - <a href="http://www.smugbox.com/www-FluidNow-Claim-Weeks/ViewContent?id=2428">fluidnow.com</a> That is true.

Take a look at the same issue when NG published a story about Serbia, a few months ago: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2009/07/serbs/carroll-text (interesting article about that: http://www.ambassador-serbia.com/2009/12/01/national-geographic-serbia/ )While text is not perfect, at least it tries to explain complexities of past/present/future of Serbia, but photographs (Christopher Anderson) fall completely into stereotype of "poor miserable Serbia." (take a look at the gallery and compare photos with their caption, especially the second from behind photo)Problem is that photographers don't really work with writers, and just as you said – photos need to reference to text and vice versa. After all, it "is" one article alltogether.Thanks for posting this! Seems like National Geographic (probably many others too) do this regularly.
