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.

Summary:
Many changes are fast approaching our world, changes for the worst. Are you aware? The time for this change will be here before anyone can prepare. Many will lose their lives and others will be driven to insanity. This is the change to a new dawn, a time that many have heard about but few have ever seen. Our world's fears of war and terror have no measure to what it will soon be encountering. Be prepared, dawn has never looked so fierce and horrifying in all of time. No power can stop this, no force strong enough to prevent it from happening. Can anyone or anything salvage our world? We must put all of our hopes and prayers into four young college students that have been thrown into a fight. As a team, they will face the perils of learning who they really are and what they must become to protect the people that mean so much to them. Life, love, school, and all other dramatic problems are put to shame when real danger strikes. If you had the choice between fighting for the bad or dying for the good, which would you choose? I welcome you to the new dawn. I wish you luck; not that it will help.

Extra Explanation***Adventurous novel about the lives of four college students who's worlds are turned upside down when a man from the past decides to take the future into his own hands. They must learn skills that they never even knew were possible and save the freedom of millions. During this time, the world takes on a transformation into the past.
