Description

The tragedy in Haiti has been captured in powerful photographs that reveal the extent of the human suffering in that country. But are the images too graphic? At what point do photographs become exploitative and blur the the lines of ethical photojournalism?

 

 

We talk with Paul Taggart, a photojournalist whose photos from Haiti we've posted on our website. We also speak with Kenneth Irby, who leads the visual journalism group at the Poynter Institute, who gives his take on the images coming out of Haiti.
