What is the difference between photograph and photojournalism?
The difference between photograph and photojournalism is: photographs can be taken of anything and anyone can take them, but photojournalism is telling a story and kind of explaining something ( you also have to write in photoJOURNALISM).
What is the NPPA?
National Press Photographer Association
What is the NPPA code of ethics?
- Be accurate and comprehensive in the representation of subjects.
- Resist being manipulated by staged photo opportunities.
- Be complete and provide context when photographing or recording subjects. Avoid stereotyping individuals and groups. Recognize and work to avoid presenting one’s own biases in the work.
- Treat all subjects with respect and dignity. Give special consideration to vulnerable subjects and compassion to victims of crime or tragedy. Intrude on private moments of grief only when the public has an overriding and justifiable need to see.
- While photographing subjects do not intentionally contribute to, alter, or seek to alter or influence events.
- Editing should maintain the integrity of the photographic images’ content and context. Do not manipulate images or add or alter sound in any way that can mislead viewers or misrepresent subjects.
- Do not pay sources or subjects or reward them materially for information or participation.
- Do not accept gifts, favors, or compensation from those who might seek to influence coverage.
- Do not intentionally sabotage the efforts of other journalists.
Why does the media need ethics?
I believe the media needs the ethics because a lot of content on media websites have false information so people believe the wrong thing, and a lot of the things on media are not respectful to others and stereotype.
The photo I found interesting was about the great depression. I found this photo interesting because it is kind of showing the extents that people were going through to try and find a job, to make some money for their families. I feel that this photo kind of shows how badly people needed jobs and how hard they were willing to work to get one.
