Photojournalism and Personal Ethics In recent times the 24 hour news networks and newspapers fighting to stay relevant have sent journalists and photographers to war zones and natural disaster scenes with more frequency. Going back to at least World War II, photojournalists have always struggled with the balance between doing their jobs and becoming personally involved in their subjects. Two Charlotte groups, The Light Factory and Collaborative Arts Theatre, are exploring the ethics of photojournalism. The Light Factory has a new exhibit of famous photographs and Collaborative Arts is producing a play that explores some of these ethical questions. We'll learn about both.
