Citizen Journalism

May 02, 2013  •  Leave a Comment

One of the things that originally attracted me to photography was citizen journalism.  In other words, capturing the events of life in camera.  Recently citizen journalism played a big role in identifying suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing, but it does raise the question of ethics?  Is it right to capture such events?  This was the question being discussed on the episode of TWiP I was listening to this morning with Frederick Van Johnson, Doug Kaye, and Dan Ablan when I happened across this accident:

Paducah Truck accident flipIMG_8246 This ought to give you a clue where I stand on this.  I am of the belief that if you feel confident the medical needs are being attended to, then there is nothing unethical about capturing the events of life.

What's your opinion?
