Photojournalism: An Ethical Approach

`Helewidis:iconHelewidis: reports, January 10
If you click the link (title) you'll be directed to an online edition of a book originally published by Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Publishers, Hillsdale, New Jersey, 1991: Photojournalism An Ethical Approach by Paul Martin Lester.

I consider it food for thought and reflection about photojournalism and ethics and thus would like to share it with you.

Now follows an excerpt to lure you into reading the full version:

A photojournalist is a mixture of a cool, detached professional and a sensitive, involved citizen. The taking of pictures is much more than F-stops and shutter speeds. The printing of pictures is much more than chemical temperatures and contrast grades. The publishing of pictures is much more than cropping and size decisions. A photojournalist must always be aware that the technical aspects of the photographic process are not the primary concerns.

A mother crying over the death of her daughter is not simply an image to be focused, a print to be made, and a picture to be published. The mother's grief is a lesson in humanity.

If the photojournalist produces a picture without a thought for her tragedy, the lesson is lost. But if the photographer cares for her loss, is made more humane, and causes the readers to share in her grief, photojournalism has reached its highest potential.

Despite its frustrations and low moments, the lesson of humanity is why photojournalism is an extremely rewarding profession. For that reason, photojournalism is worthy of the best thought and actions possible by its participants.

New Tolkien Book To Be Released

~jay88:iconjay88: reports, March 28, 2007
Fans of Tolkien's tales of Middle Earth, Elves, and Orcs - made famous in such works as The Lord Of The Rings, The Hobbit, and The Silmarillion - will be thrilled to hear that another epic novel, The Children Of Hurin, has been painstakingly compiled from notes and drafts left after Tolkien's death.



The Children of Húrin takes the reader back to a time long before The Lord of the Rings, in an area of Middle-earth that was to be drowned before ever Hobbits appeared, and when the great enemy was still the fallen Vala, Morgoth, and Sauron only his lieutenant. This heroic romance is the tale of the Man, Húrin, who dared to defy Morgoth's force of evil, and his family's tragic destiny, as it follows his son Túrin Turambar's travails through the lost world of Beleriand. Source: The Tolkien Estate

The story was originally one of a trilogy set in the heroic First Age of Middle Earth, but all remained unfinished and unpublished after the author's death. It was the work of Tolkien's son Christopher in assembling the various drafts, notes, and scraps of paper that has completed the story as a standalone work.

I know this is not "new" news anymore really, but I couldn't see it submitted previously, and I know so many LOTR fans on here that would be interested...
:iconbuntovnik86:
Would you believe me if I told you that I didn't read any of the books by Tolkien, and haven't even watch the movie :evileye:? But it is a nice news for the millions of fans out there :D.

:iconmouldiwarp:
Don't you think it would be more honest to title this "The Children Of Hurin" by Christopher Tolkien (inspired by J.R.R.Tolkien) ?

It's amazing how many new books these days seem to be written by dead people....
