How Will Photos of Trump Shooting Shape U.S. Presidential Campaign?
The now-iconic photo of GOP Presidential Candidate, Donald Trump is a prime example on how the power of news photography in capturing iconic moments, and why independent news is so important in the wake of the wave of disinformation that surfaced after the attempted assassination of the former President.
Subramaniam Vincent, the director of journalism and media ethics at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics said the portrayal of the moment will play into the political discourse.
“The real ethics of it, I think, comes in, in interpreting where the picture is, what it stands for in the narrative about American culture, politics, guns, violence,” he told VOA.
