What are photojournalism ethics?
Ethics are a huge part of photojournalism because without ethics, there is no truth in the pictures. Photojournalism is intended to be a visual report; it should convey facts and information exactly as it happened in reality. To alter this for any reason in any way, such as asking a subject to re-enact a scenario for example, is considered unethical. It is like a news reporter making up a lie on the evening news. Photojournalists who set-up photos and engage in other unethical activities usually find themselves unemployed.
