Student/Faculty/Journalist Discussion: "Should this Picture Be Published?"

This is a small-group program and requires participants to sign up in advance. Participants must be IU undergraduates and must sign up using the established procedures. For complete sign-up procedures, click here.

So much of the news is about death, destruction, violence, and scandal that the images that capture the news can test the consciences of photographers and editors and affront the sensibilities of the public. How do photographers decide what pictures to take? How do editors decide which ones to publish? And what do you think of their decisions? Join IU journalism Professor Steven Raymer, a former National Geographic Magazine staff photographer who continues to photograph the world, and Bob Zaltsberg, who as editor of The (Bloomington) Herald-Times has faced many tough decisions, to discuss and debate which pictures are appropriate, even necessary, and which too gruesome, too intimate, too revealing, too intrusive.
