“We write the first drafts of history, we are the eyes and the ears of our people, we follow those in the battle, armed not with a gun but with a camera, we report what we see and what we learn, we do not hold back, we do not compromise our ideas, we report the unseen, we document history, we inform the public and report the tragedy”

REPORTING WAR TODAY
Loss in empathy War has become acceptable Amateurs have become
correspondents Censorship Detachment of the correspondent

Questions Should I tell the truth or should I hold my
tongue? What would you do? Do you think that war correspondents are
biased? Why do you think they go to war? What do you feel when you see dead bodies of
your nationals and what happens when they are people not related to you or living in countries far away?
Do you think war has become more acceptable because of the media?
Do you think war photographers don’t have empathy?
Can we categorize both journalists and soldiers in the same group?
