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.

"LOL HURF DURF, SUCK IT, TALENTED WRITERS WHO NEVER GET PUBLISHED. I DID IT IN MY FUCKING SLEEP."

MY FIRST NEWS ARTICLE ABOUT THIS GOT BLAMMED FOR SOME REASON. PROBABLY BECAUSE A BUNCH OF TWILIGHT FANS WANTED TO REMAIN IN DENIAL.

UNLESS I DON'T KNOW HOW THE NEWS THING HERE WORKS.

ANYWAY, I'M REPOSTING IT.

As always, I say the ultimate blame lies at Anne Rice's feet.

She's the one who started this shit about vampires being sympathetic characters instead of bloodsucking monsters. Without that, Twilight would never had been written.

Precisely!

How have we gone from degenerate, eternally damned Nosferatu ghouls to sparkly, painfully bland Stepford men in just a few decades? How?

There are dozens of better writers than her out there, and yet her work becomes so massively popular... it makes me sick to think about it.

In every artform there will always be artists who appeal to the mass populace instead of actually creating anything of substance. Unfortunately, these artists are also the ones who tend to become quite successful; the only saving grace of the artform is that there is always an artist who can do far better, include something meaningful in their work, and can make it palatable for the masses... and those great people become wildly successful.

I've never read any of the Twilight series, and chances are I never will. I haven't seen the movie, and I have no intention to. However, I have no ill will to the author or Rowling just for being who they are...

In fact, I pity them, because with all their milllions of dollars and massive fan-base, they will continue to be alone and miserable, questioning the very worth of their existence. It is certain that both of them do know, deep down, that their creations are not worth the kudos they receive, and that is something they will have to live with.

YOU DARE BRING PUSSIFIED ANNE RICE VAMPIRES TO MY LAIR?! YOU MUST DIE. :iconyoumustdieplz:

That's how I feel about Anne fucking Rice and Twilight's gay sensitive vampires.

Now if you excuse me, being the hardcore Nosferatu and Lugosi-Era Dracula fan that I am, I am going to cry myself to sleep.
