Who work for the same paper, submit work for the same article, etc..... and a third for the advertisers, who do not have to obey any rules of truth. Captured is hardly the issue... it is an issue of telling a story through words or photogrpahs. That is what a paper does. What story do you want to tell ( sell?) ? How best to convey that story? What tools are at your disposal? Does the method of capture really make a difference? Certainly I am no expert ethicist, photojouornalist, nor journalist, nor do I teach any of those in a profeesional role. I am a rather simple person who distrusts most to all media just because of the issue of slanted reporting. I believe in a single standard, including the advertisers. Either you tell the whole truth, everywhere in your paper, or you do not. Yes, I am a LA Times subscriber. and yes, they are biased..... and yes they do tell their slanted part of a story.
