War photograpy from Lucian Read (Lucian Read)A Picture's Worth
We’ll start today’s show with a panel discussion on war photography—and whether the mainstream press should publish more pictures of the soldiers killed in Iraq. Then, we’ll learn about one man’s quest to find a place untouched by tourism in Southeast Asia. And we’ll talk to the author of a novel about a Manhattan gallery owner’s search for passion. And this week’s Please Explain is all about color!
War Photography
One survey found that during a 6 month period when over 500 American and Western allies died in Iraq…almost no pictures of their bodies made it into the mainstream press. New York Times culture reporter David Carr, Reuters general news editor Paul Holmes, and photographer Lucian Read discuss why there are so few images of dead soldiers.
