I’ve always thought this Canadian Club print campaign was genius, partially because of the vibe but mostly because I couldn’t figure out if the images were 40 years old or shot recently. When I discovered that Liz Miller-Gershfeld, VP and Senior Art Produ

Link: A Tale of Two Worlds « Perfesser Kev:
Many argue that a block on such pictures is meant to protect the families of the victims. That is a worthy sympathy too. But that place is a funny one to draw such a line. If that holds true, should we not avoid photos of any casualty? Any disaster? Any death? Valuable coverage of the world would greatly suffer. We need to see to believe, and to understand the impact of our or others’ actions.

Things do go wrong, but a photojournalist who has worked for a daily newspaper is trained to do superior work, and quickly. She cannot come back to the office with no photo. The paper is coming out tomorrow, a photo is needed. She is used to operating under pressure.

Link: Grieving family allowed us to tell their story | Editors’ Notes – Austin American Statesman:
There is a stereotype of members of the media as ghoulish news hounds, eager to push a camera in a grieving family’s face or go to any length to snatch a sound bite or quote for a story. As with many broad stereotypes, there is very little truth to it. That kind of thing rarely happens. But that doesn’t stop some people from jumping to conclusions and making assumptions about our ghoulish nature. For example, there were these comments posted to our story on the death of five-year-old Catherine Elizabeth Gibson, criticizing the stunning photo that ran with the story.
Link: Ground Rules On “Killed In Action” Photos Revised Again – NPPA:
“14. Media will not be prohibited from viewing or filming casualties; however, casualty photographs showing recognizable face, nametag or other identifying feature or item will not be published. In respect to our family members, names, video, identifiable written/oral descriptions or identifiable photographs of wounded service members will not be released without the service member’s prior written consent. If the service member dies of his wounds, next-of-kin reporting rules then apply. Media should contact the PAO for release advice.”
