Life After Horrific Death for the Journalist James Foley – The New York Times
Life After Horrific Death for the Journalist James Foley
Diane Foley let the artist Bradley McCallum see her son’s unpublished journals. The result is a stunning memorial of war and its human toll.

Mrs. Foley has a desperately keen understanding of what happens in a conflict zone. “Jim” was her son, the freelance photojournalist James W. Foley. He was kidnapped in 2012 while covering the Syrian civil war, held hostage for 21 months and brutally murdered in 2014 by members of the Islamic State in an execution filmed by his captors and released online. Many remember his death, but his mother and Mr. McCallum, who is painting a series based on Mr. Foley’s work, want people to remember his chronicle of war, its human cost and his humanity.

Enabling ISIS, the VICE Videos and the Execution of AFP Videographer James Foley – Reading The Pictures

via Reading The Pictures: http://www.bagnewsnotes.com/2014/08/enabling-isis-the-vice-videos-and-the-execution-of-afp-photographer-james-foley/
I’m quite uncomfortable with the VICE videos, especially when their head of news programming refused to disclose the terms upon which they were created. Do the VICE videos provide context, the video producer on hand establishing himself as an embed and a documentarian? Yes, they do. At the same time, however, how much was VICE there for the sensation and to enhance their own scintillating brand?
