TextPublisher: London : Routledge, 2020Description: 166 pagesContent type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9781138586307 (pbk.) :Subject(s): Photojournalism -- Moral and ethical aspects | Journalistic ethics | Media Studies | Media StudiesDDC classification: 070.4'9 Summary: Delving into the complexities of contemporary reportage, this book draws from moral philosophy and histories of photojournalism to understand the emergence of this distinct practice and discuss its evolution in a digital era. In arguing that the digitisation of photography obliges us to radically challenge some of the traditional conceptions of press photography, this book addresses the historic opposition between artistic and journalistic photographs, showing and challenging how this has subtly inspired support for a forensic approach to photojournalism ethics. The book situates this debate within questions of relativism over what is 'moral', and normative debates over what is 'journalistic', alongside technical debates as to what is 'possible', to underpin a discussion of photojournalism as an ethical, moral, and societally important journalistic practice.
