What are the ethics of photography when everyone is a photographer?

ABC Ballarat – Australian Broadcasting Corporation
By Jarrod Watt (Multiplatform editor, Victoria)

This Thursday, August 25, ABC Ballarat presents a special Ballarat Foto Biennale forum with four world-reknowned photographers to discuss the vexing question of ethics in photography in a world of camera-phones, Facebook, TwitPic and PhotoShop. Veteran photographer Jeremy Bannister gives this preview of what kinds of moral and ethical issues need to be dealt with when you’re recording history through the lens.

The Hub: The world’s first participatory media site for human rights

We stumbled across this interesting site & wanted to share …The Hub: The world’s first participatory media site for human rights

Honduran President Manuel Zelaya was deposed in a coup in June. Zelaya returned to Honduras on Monday, ending… almost three months of exile and bringing the world’s attention to his cause again.

This video is from July reports from Nicaragua/Honduras border crossing, where the body of a Zelaya supporter was found badly beaten. Fingers are being pointed at the police forces – and human rights are being questioned. What do you think?

“The military and the police must respect human rights and ensure any use of force is proportionate during law enforcement operations and in accordance with UN standards. People must be allowed to protest peacefully without fear of being harmed or being wrongfully imprisoned.” – Kerrie Howard, Amnesty International
