Digital Journalist 2007, eerste editie
Deze maand in The Digital Journalist verslagen uit Irak van onder anderen Chris Hondros, en uit het Zuid-Israëlische Sderot dat onder vuur ligt van Palestijnse Kassam-raketten vanuit de Gazastrook.
Verder nog een column van James Colburn over het najagen van technische topkwaliteit door fotojournalisten terwijl de consument tevreden is met foto's uit zijn mobieltje. (Zo valt er vandaag ook nog iets te lachen.)
Why the hell have you spent all that money and all that time making sure that the pictures that you present to the world are the tightest, sharpest, highest resolution images possible?
Beats me. The world doesn't care. The average consumer couldn't give a rat's ass about picture quality. I've just come back from (yet another) trip to Europe and I noticed something right away when I walked anywhere. Everyone is taking their pictures with a cell phone. A crappy little cell phone producing crappy little files that they send to their friends and relatives to say, "See? I was there!"
