FOR JOURNALISTS TV and Photojournalism Ethics
This section deals
with ethical issues that arise when news is reported through images.
It covers both photojournalism and television journalism.
There are links to photojournalistic codes of ethics, discussion forums,
and examples of how audiences have been deceived through the digital
manipulation of pictures.
Technology is controversial. Pat Fletcher,
pictured here, has a hidden camera implanted in her sunglasses, attached
to an earpiece and a laptop that’s contained in her backpack.
She’s no reporter, though – the hidden camera helps her
see the world, despite her blindness. Some people act unnerved she
uses a device and not her eyes to observe them. Photo by Barbara Schweizer
