Visualizing War & Disaster

The Poynter Insitute's - a school for journalists - special report on how in Virginia, Iraq, and Poland, photojournalists and editors struggle with the power of images and how they should be used.

"When do images change public perception? What images are journalists reluctant to publish or broadcast? What standards do we apply to images captured by non-journalists, like Tami Silicio or a Virginia woman who was the first person to transmit pictures from a plane crash site?

A series of articles addresses these questions and raises additional questions for reader response as Poynter explores the role of visual journalism in documenting war and disaster":
