How Social Media Abdicated Responsibility for the News | The New Yorker
How Social Media Abdicated Responsibility for the News
The Israel-Hamas war has displayed with fresh urgency the perils of relying on our feeds for updates about events unfolding in real time.
via The New Yorker: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/infinite-scroll/how-social-media-abdicated-responsibility-for-the-news
An “algorithmically driven fog of war” is how one journalist described the deluge of disinformation and mislabelled footage on X. Videos from a paragliding accident in South Korea in June of this year, the Syrian civil war in 2014, and a combat video game called Arma 3 have all been falsely labelled as scenes from Israel or Gaza. (Inquiries I sent to X were met with an e-mail reading, “Busy now, please check back later.”)

via the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2023/sep/26/corinne-dufka-war-photographer-book
As the acclaimed American war photographer Corinne Dufka sorted through the pictures and negatives for her new book, This Is War: Photographs from a Decade of Conflict, covering more than a decade on frontlines from El Salvador to Bosnia and Liberia, she once again looked into the faces she had perhaps only registered briefly years ago.

‘War criminals: whatever you do, we’ll record it’: the ‘merciless’ Ukrainian film about Mariupol | Ukraine | The Guardian
‘War criminals: whatever you do, we’ll record it’: the ‘merciless’ Ukrainian film about Mariupol
20 Days in Mariupol by Mstyslav Chernov traces the Russian siege of the port in harrowing detail. Here, he discusses his documentary with a fellow war reporter
via the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/11/ukrainian-film-20-days-in-mariupol-mstyslav-chernov-documentary
It is a brave, visceral, merciless masterpiece. I’ll stake a claim, for what it’s worth: after decades of war reporting, and watching hundreds of films about war, there are few, if any, like this. Chernov’s film documents Russia’s shocking war crimes against Mariupol on a vast, epic scale, in counterpoint to detail so intimate it borders on unbearable, as it should.

The Life and Death of a Ukrainian Photographer
Maksym Levin started documenting war “to become famous.” After seeing conflict up close, his motivations shifted.
via The New Yorker: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/photo-booth/the-life-and-death-of-a-ukrainian-photographer
According to an investigation by Reporters Without Borders, the men were “undoubtedly executed in cold blood, possibly after being tortured.” At the site of the killing, the Russians shared a meal, leaving behind packaging from their food rations, plastic spoons, cigarette packs, and instructions for firing rockets. Levin’s cell phone, helmet, flak jacket, and shoes were never found.

The DJ and the War Crimes — Rolling Stone
Thirty years after a death squad massacred civilians in Bosnia, none of the infamous Arkan’s Tigers have stood trial for their alleged part in those crimes.
Link: https://investigation.rollingstone.com/dj-photo-war-crimes-bosnia/
A young American photographer watched much of it happen. Ron Haviv met the Tigers in Croatia, where he had photographed them. Arkan liked one picture, in particular: the paramilitary commander standing in front of his uniformed men, posing with a baby tiger in one hand and a gun in the other. So Haviv embedded with the Tigers for one day, on April 2, 1992.

Has War Changed, or Only War Photography? – The New York Times
Has War Changed, or Only War Photography?
In the decades between Robert Capa and Lynsey Addario, our image of battle lost its aura of nobility.
Link: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/13/arts/design/war-photography-addario-capa-icp-sva.html
Many Americans no longer regard war as a righteous undertaking — and war photography has played a part in changing our perspective. Pictures in Korea (notably those of David Douglas Duncan) and, even more, those in Vietnam (by Larry Burrows and Don McCullin in particular) stripped warfare of its glamour and romance, zeroing in instead on blood, mud, fatigue, injury and viciousness. Television footage amplified the horror.

In 2014 until 2017, I worked in the Russian-speaking regions of Donbass, in Donetsk, Luhansk, Mariupol… Russia was clearly supporting the pro-Russian separatists, and the Russian media was showering Russian-speaking civilians with propaganda against the Ukrainian government and against the Western media, but still, the russian-speaking civilians were paying with their lives. I photographed civilians victims of Ukrainian army artillery. I was guided by this feeling of revolt and injustice that I know too well, each time common people are killed, injured, torn apart, by wars that are beyond them…
