The Paparazzi Business Crashes

Nice piece by Claudia Rosenbaum on BuzzFeed (yeah, I went there) on the decline of the paparazzi business. Maybe now we can start to focus on real stories about real people doing real things? (Thanks to John Harrington for the link.)

Photojournalism Ethics Study

Released yesterday by the University of Stirling, the World Press Photo Foundation and the University of Oxford’s Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, a substantial report on ethics in photojournalism drawn from a world-wide sample.

Ethics and the Role of Photojournalism Organizations

Rachel Donadio has a piece up at The New York Times talking about this year’s Visa Pour l’Image Festival in Perpignan, France, that’s worth a read. Perpignan is the annual gathering of photojournalism, one of (if not the) largest exhibition of work each year. Donadio’s piece runs through some of the big issues of the last year, including the decision...
