Hi. I was just wandering your personal views on "graphic" war images, and if they should be viewed by the average american...in other words, do you think that some images should not be shown because it may affect how people feel towards a war or people fighting in a war?
Hi Amanda,
This interview was almost five years ago. However, I can give you a standard answer.
Conflict images are shot "as is." Photojournalists document the reality they find. The outlet determines which images are published based on the publication's audience.
For instance, a newspaper is distributed widely and seen by children. Consequently, it is less likely to use horrific images.
Meanwhile, some scholarly journals, magazines and internet sites are only seen by adults, and won't have a problem showing everything.
