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.

--from chapter eight: "Juggling journalism and Humanism"

Chainbreaker up for ranking in competition rnd. 2!

=randomredux:iconrandomredux: reports, May 12, 2008
Round two of the Bookhabit Unpublished Competition has officially started, and we need your help. This round involves readers ranking their favourite books, and only the ten books that are ranked highest will move on to the final judging of round three. I would very, VERY much appreciate it if you could find five minutes to sign up and make a couple of clicks. The whole process will take only a few minutes and cost you absolutely nothing. They don't even spam.

To vote, please go to Bookhabit and register there. Once you have a login name and are signed in, go to the ranking page, find Chainbreaker in the list, and click the arrow next to it. That's it! Once it's done, you won't ever have to deal with the site again, and you'll have done us a wonderfully huge favor with my greatest thanks.

All we have to do is remain in the top ten until the 25th of this month. You can help us by signing up, voting, and spreading the word. It is only with YOUR help that we can win this, and so I'm asking you please to help us out. We're up against some stiff competition in terms of numbers (a slash fiction writer and a comedy writer, both with good sized fanbases, for starters) but we can easily win this with all of you behind us. :)

Thank you very, very much for your time. We are very happy that those of you who have read Chainbreaker have enjoyed it so far, and we hope that you'll recommend us to your friends and continue to give us the feedback we need to make the book even better than ever. :D

Cheers and Many Thanks,
Jesse Powell
