Истина и етика в съвременната фотожурналистика - случаят с наградите Рейнолдс 2024
Truth and ethics in the contemporary photojournalism - the case of Reynolds Awards 2024

Summary/Abstract: Manipulation and misleading in documentary and journalist photography have always been unavoidable part of its nature, since its beginning and long before digitalization came into place. Today we are facing serious problems of media ethics, as one of the photos awarded by Reynolds Journalism Institute at the Missouri School of Journalism for Team Picture Story of the Year (2024) raised concerns about how it was taken and who is the photographer, as it is suspected that he must have been involved in that attack on 7th of October 2023 in Israel. The case triggered questions and reactions of ethics and what is happening to photojournalism and media in general. A petition was created calling for ‘denounce this award-winning photo and demand that Reynolds Journalism Instituterevoke this award’, following even a lawsuit. The following material will analyze the events that led to this photo award and try to go deeper into the contemporary media problems.
