Documentary & Photojournalism
In this case I found many connection to "now" and the "back-then". They're trying to define the line between documentary photography and photo journalism, which I believe we are still trying to do. As it says documentary photography is effective and purpose for a social change. Photo journalism is also trying to inform the public of social issues as well. But what is the difference? Can both be altered? Especially in todays world where everyone has a camera and photoshop and the ability to manipulate photographs. In the case with Bernard when he was charged as deceiving the public, the general public now-a-days would all be charged of this. So many photos are manipulated in todays magazines and online especially that its hard to tell the truth from not. So now there is an even more fine line between documentary photography and photo journalism because you can manipulate the photograph how you like without the viewer realizing and people trusting their eyes threw cameras more.
