Abstract

Photojournalists make daily decisions about hot to shoot a new story, and what images to broadcast to the public. Some of these decisions are routine, only dependent on the photojournalist’s individual storytelling style. But some of these decisions fall into the gray area of ethics. This thesis surveyed 135 television photojournalists about their ethical beliefs and practices.
