New articles in my project on horrific imagery
I’ve been writing essays on horrific images in media, to get insight in how imagery can fulfil a (new) role in making journalistic productions. I’m investigation the issue from different perspectives.
The journalistic/editors perspective:
“War porn and why we must look at these pictures”
The historical perspective:
“Horrific imagery can: a) stop war, b) prevent war, c) cause war”
The makers intentions perspective:
“IS makes horrific images, but not only because they are gory”
