A picture is worth a thousand words

Transcript of A picture is worth a thousand words
“While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see”
-Dorothea Lange
Photo journalism opens our eyes to the world…
But sometimes, our freedom of photography is restricted by government rules and regulations.
The extremely strict rules of the American media is
UNETHICAL
Americans are living in a sheltered society. The
restrictions of photojournalism are not only unethical because
they restricts freedom of expression, but they are
unethical because they hides things from society that
everyone has a right to know about.
The scenes that can be captured by
photojournalism are so MOVING and
inspirational because of their shock value.
When this is taken away, people are not truly
aware of how much evil and hurt there is in the
world.
We have the power to fight these unethical regulations. Through social media and word of
mouth we can SPEAK OUT against unfair restrictions on photojournalism.
One once said, “a picture
is worth a thousand
words”…. Let us listen to
what these pictures have
to say and accept our call
to action in order to make
a real difference in the
world.
