(roboppy/flickr)Aiming for Impartiality
Three photographers working in the Middle East discuss the ethics and challenges of covering conflict there. Then, an American bread expert talks about the rise of great artisanal bread in France. Plus, roots musician David Bromberg performs live in our studios. And we summon you for this week’s Please Explain on jury duty.
The Complexities of Conflict Photography
Isa Freij, a cameraman for CBS and a documentary filmmaker, Shaul Schwartz of Getty Images, and Heidi Levine of Sipa Agency are all currently working in the Middle East. They join us for a panel discussion on the challenges of covering the conflicts there, and the ethical questions of photographing events in the region. They also talk about whether their own backgrounds and ethnicities factor into their work. Isa Freij was born and lives in Palestine. Shaul Schwartz was born in Israel and lives in US. Heidi Levine was born in Boston and has lived in Israel for 20 years.
